Watch rare forest animals meet at Dzanga bai

What you'll do

As if Dzanga-Sangha wasn't unique enough, it also provides marshy clearings amongst the thick rainforest, the perfect place to explore on foot. An experienced guide will lead the way, calling out trivia about the history and heritage of the area, its wildlife and its people. The bais are where most of the forest's wildlife gathers, including eye catching flocks of Great Blue Turacos and the endemic Dzanga robin, herds of forest buffalo and elephant foraging for minerals, and pint-sized red river hogs rolling in the mud. Be prepared to get more than a little mucky and wet, crossing the bai to explore a tiny island and seeing species you've never encountered before, closer than you would ever expect. Your boots will surely need drying by the fire, but trust us, it'll be more than worth it. Or for the greatest adventure, sleep out on a research platform and wake up to sunlight streaming through the mist as elephant wallow in the mud.
