Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, Republic of Congo

Pirogue journey

Created in 1993, the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo covers an area of just over 4,000 km squared and is home to important populations of forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees and many other endangered mammals. It also boasts over 300 bird species and 1,000 plant and tree species, including a rich diversity of enormous endangered mahoganies. The majority of the congo wildlife tours take place in either Mondika Camp or Mbeli Camp, where visitors can visit Mbeli Bai or Mondika for gorilla viewing.

Ndoki park sits in the Republic of Congo sector of the Sangha Trinational Zone, and provides integral protection to wildlife through a collaborative management program between the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Congolese Ministry of Forest Economy and the Environment (MEFE). The NNNP is a rare example of an intact forest wilderness, completely uninhabited by human settlers and with extremely low human population densities in the surrounding area, which includes the equally wild Dzanga Sangha National Park.
