À vivre

Nearly 450 bird species have been recorded in Odzala-Kokoua National Park, making it one of the richest and most compelling destinations in West and Central Africa for birdwatchers. This diversity stems from the park’s wide range of habitats, which provides the space and resources needed for multiple species to thrive.
That said, birds are harder to spot within the forest, which is why the skills of a qualified guide — such as those employed by Odzala’s camps — are highly valued.
These local experts, who share their knowledge with the local community, can help guarantee sightings of species endemic to the region, such as the crested guineafowl, Hartlaub’s duck, Cassin’s malimbe, the yellow-cheeked trogon, the yellow-billed malkoha, the black-casqued hornbill, the black bee-eater, the blue-throated roller and many others.

Boat and kayak safari on the Lekoli River

Venturing deep into the jungle…

Past valleys, forests, marshes and mangroves, the Lekoli River winds its way through Odzala-Kokoua National Park. Drifting slowly downstream, one feels almost insignificant, especially when passing through a mangrove whose treetops rise far above the kayak. Among the leaves, one can sometimes make out a few primates and birds, such as forest ducks or local kingfishers.

Giants, so discreet

In the wild Odzala region, the adventure begins at dawn. Accompanied by an expert tracker, you set off on foot, silently, following the trail of forest elephants. Smaller than their savannah cousins, these discreet giants slip between the trees, leaving deep footprints, stripped bark, and secret paths. Walking in their wake means entering an intact, humid, vibrant world. The forest ...
