Central African Republic

For most, the Congo Basin’s 700,000 square miles of tropical rainforest and phenomenal biodiversity are only experienced vicariously through the detailed journals of intrepid 19^th century explorers. Only recently has the interior become accessible through the use of private charter planes that enable you to traverse vast distances which normally take weeks to cross by 4x4 vehicle. After hundreds of years of being closed because of civil strife, inaccessibility, and lack of infrastructure, you can finally enter the mysterious heart of the continent in comfort and safety. Visit the world-renowned Dzangha Sangha National Park in the Central African Republic. The Dzangha bai is the only place on earth where such a rare collection of animals coexist. Here you have the opportunity to see habituated lowland gorillas, forest elephants, chimpanzees, Colobus monkeys, forest buffalo, duiker, the rare Bongo antelope, sitatungas, Red River Forest hogs, and mangabeys.
