A two hour boat trip from Loango Lodge is the Akaka lodge on the river bank. With five domed 2 man tents along a narrow forest clearing, each mounted on a platform and sheltered by a palm-thatched roof with a private bathroom and bucket shower. There is a main thatch-covered restaurant/lounge deck with a view over the river.
Travelling up the Rembo Ngowe River to Akaka camp you will travel through vast waterscapes, remoteness, and the constant forest backdrop. The abundant wildlife can be difficult to spot in the rain-filled swamps but in the dry season the concentrations of particularly forest buffalo and forest elephant that migrate into the area are easily seen from a boat, kayak, or on foot. Smaller mammals like sitatunga (a swamp-dwelling antelope), red river hogs, forest duikers, five species of monkey, and great apes inhabit the area all year round.
Akaka is really about being immersed in a peaceful outback setting and having one's senses flooded by natural splendour. Staying at Akaka you can take part in kayaking, walking and motorboat trips.
