Central African Republic Photographic Safaris

The Bai’s of the park offer the best wildlife sightings, with the Dzanga Bai being the most famous. A favourite of the forest fauna, this remains one of the most jaw dropping sites you will have the privilege to visit in Africa. Roughly translated to “the village of the elephants”, Dzanga offers viewing of some tremendous wildlife interaction from the comfort of a treeline hide. Predominantly populated by the grunts and snorts of hundreds of forest elephants, gorillas are occasional visitors to the fringes of the Bai, congregating on this forest clearing in order to access mineral salts and clay from the earth - there can often be hundreds of elephants in the Bai at any one time.

Other wildlife includes chimpanzees, often seen and heard whilst tracking through the rainforest, sitatungas, giant forest hogs, red river hogs, forest buffalos and duikers, making it an exceptional place for wildlife enthusiasts to get up close and personal with central Africa’s revered wildlife.

Odzala-Kokoua is another National Park with incredible Bai’s and gorilla trekking on offer. Between the two locations, you have the opportunity of immersing yourself into the heart of the Congo rainforest. This is a location made for the traveller who is keen to see an amazing wildlife experience, photograph unique and diverse scenes and who is happy without other tourists around.

C4 Photo safaris hosts an annual scheduled safari to Sangha Bai each year. Additionally, we plan a number of private and custom options into the rain forests, going beyond the locations listed above.
