Far away from the organized game drives of the open savanna, the dense rainforest that blankets the Republic of the Congo is a safari unlike any other. The air feels crisper and the wildlife is unique, with immersive treks that bring travelers to forest elephants, chimpanzees, and lowland gorillas. Eco-tours are at the forefront of protecting this fragile habitat, making the Congo a destination as important as it is irresistible.
