MBOKO CAMP
Mboko Camp sits on the lush banks of the Lekoli River, where open savannah meets primary rainforest. It is one of the three new eco-camps in Odzala-Kokoua National Park in the Republic of Congo.
The multitude of habitats in the area attract abundant wildlife, highlights of which include the African grey parrot, the guereza colobus monkey and over 416 butterfly species. Enjoy night time walks to discover some of the nocturnal species and adventure by foot into the network of streams and marshes to learn about the rainforest ecosystem. Drift slowly downstream spotting brightly coloured kingfishers and perhaps one of the two harmless crocodile species in the area: the slender snouted crocodile and the African dwarf crocodile. Fall asleep to the soothing sound of the river flowing by.
ACCOMMODATION AND FACILITIES
Rooms at Mboko Camp comprise of 12 delightful cabins which stretch out along the river back, each with their own private deck and lounge chairs from which to enjoy stunning scenery. All have en-suite bathrooms with hot showers and flushing lavatories. Built from local sustainable materials, they blend beautifully into the landscape.
The elevated, open sided lounge area is perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding savannah and watch forest buffalo and elephant as they come and go. Relax around the fire pit with a sun downer before dining alfresco under stars.
Limited internet is available at camp. Consider this a location in which to completely escape from everyday life and relish in being ‘out of touch’!
The camp works hard to keep its environmental footprint to an absolute minimum. Power is provided through solar energy and the camp creates its own water supply through reverse osmosis. Biodegradable products that are not harmful to the environment are provided for guests.
