Odzala-Kokoua National Park

Odzala-Kokoua National Park is located in the Congo Basin in the northwestern part of the Republic of Congo.

The best time to visit the Republic of Congo where Odzala-Kokoua National Park is located is during the long dry season between May and September. In the north where Odzala-Kokoua National Park is the short dry season is also good, which is between January and February.

There are plenty of activities on offer, but the most commonly requested is the gorilla trekking expedition. Please note that you do need a permit to go gorilla trekking. At some camps and depending on availablity, you can also meet up with gorilla researchers to find out more about these fascinating creatures and the research they do. Depending on the lodge you stay at, you can also go on forest walks, guided night walks, visit the local villages, river kayaking (Lango and Mboko Camps), and at Mboko Camp, massages can be arranged. We always suggest that you hop between the lodges to get a different perspective and experience!

It's easy! You can fly directly from the Maya Maya International Airport in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo to Odzala-Kokoua National Park. It's roughly a two-hour flight from the Maya Maya Airport to the Mboko Airstrip in the park. These flights only occur twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, but if you need to fly in on another day of the week, private charter flights can be arranged to accommodate you. Upon arrival at the Mboko airstrip, you will be transferred to your chosen lodge in an open safari vehicle.

Children must be 16 years or older to stay at the lodges in Odzala-Kokoua National Park.
