The fantastic Natural Reserve of Petit Loango is an unexplored wilderness area of 230,000 hectares of forest, savannah, swamp, mangrove and ocean. In Petit Loango you can see a variety of wildlife - gorillas, chimpanzees, elephant, buffalo, antelope, hippopotami, red river hogs - even on the beach! Yet despite its animal wealth, little is known about the movements of the wildlife and bio-diversity of the area and thus sightings cannot always be guaranteed - but then for many the rawness of this wilderness area is part of the appeal.
Do you know a place on earth where chimps and gorillas lope through jungle shadows within earshot of the pounding surf, where without moving your feet on the seashore you can watch whales and elephants, where the trails of nesting sea turtles mingle with those of buffalo, where in a single vista, your gaze may track across primal forest, shimmering mangroves, manicured savannahs, palm-studded salt marsh, endless lagoon and peopless beaches? Do you know a place where you can experience the mood of equatorial Africa in its wild state, frozen in time, where you can come to know how it all once was? You just found it: Loango Lodge.
Travelling up the Rembo Ngowe River to Akaka camp you will travel through vast waterscapes, remoteness, and the constant forest backdrop.
