This hotel complex is located on the wooded banks of the Sangha River. It consists of several wooden buildings, most raised on stilts. Each bungalow has a wide terrace with a view of the Sangha. In each unit, you will find all the necessary comforts, even hot water from solar energy, so you can rest and spend a pleasurable moment after your activities in the Reserve.
It is easy to observe monkeys and birds in the hotel garden. The sound of the African bush and the fantastic wildlife surrounding every visitor are what make the stay an unforgettable experience.
