Adventures to Central Africa provide the seasoned safari goer and keen adventurer with an opportunity to travel back in time to an era where adventure is at the heart of every experience. Our journeys into this remote part of Africa see us exploring the southern reaches of the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, and Gabon.

A primary feature is the occurrence of “bais” or salines. These are swampy, grassy clearings in the otherwise dense forest that forest wildlife visit on a regular basis in order to drink, feed on sedges and grasses, and obtain minerals and salts.

This vast, wild region with its wide range of landscapes, is home to an incredible diversity of life. It holds globally significant populations of Western Lowland Gorilla, Chimpanzees and Forest elephant as well as a plethora of other species: 430 bird species and more than 100 mammal species of which around 50 are classified as medium- or large-sized. Other species include Forest buffalo, Leopard, Bongo, Giant forest hog and Hippo. Clouds of spectacular butterflies are characteristic of the region. The trees are spectacular: ancient giants well over 50 metres tall emerge from the canopy, delicate orchids cling to the branches, while the forest floor is littered with an incredible array of pods, fruits, flowers and fungi.
