Guided Bai Walk
Prepare to get wet and a little muddy as you explore the bai and its surrounding wetlands, following ancient elephant paths through the Mosaic Forest that have been used for generations. Guided by Kambas' passionate and knowledgeable nature enthusiasts, you'll marvel at the skies teeming with African Grey Parrots and African Green Pigeons, along with a variety of other bird species. As you traverse these well-worn trails, gain insight into the rich biodiversity of Odzala-Kokoua National Park, with opportunities to encounter elusive wildlife such as Bongo Antelopes or Giant Forest Hogs, making each step a new adventure.

Kayaking
Dip your paddle into the pristine waterways of the Congo Basin and explore the wilderness from a new angle. As you drift along, keep your eyes open for cavorting monkeys, colorful birds, and elephants grazing on the banks. The tranquil beauty of your surroundings will soothe your soul.
River Cruise
Every bend in the river brings the potential of another discovery: an elephant and her young grazing along the banks, a family of mangabey monkeys swinging in the trees, a flock of spine-tail swifts diving madly for insects. One constant: the magnificent beauty of a wilderness untouched by human hands.
