Congo Basin Camps & Lodges
Ngaga Camp, Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Republic of Congo
A Luxury Tented Camp in Congo Basin
Camp Details
Ngaga Camp, located just outside the park boundary in the Ndzehe concession, overlooks a beautiful open glade within primary forest above a forest stream. The Camp is situated within the overlapping home ranges of several groups of western lowland gorillas, two of which are habituated.
Ngaga is truly gorilla central. A focal point for world-class research as well as unforgettable primate encounters, Ngaga Camp’s unique design evokes the fun and mystery of childhood treehouses. From the six elevated guest rooms, wraparound walkways allow you to peer directly into the forest canopy. Like Lango, the Camp is constructed from natural materials using traditional techniques.
Ngaga Camp rests in a glade in the heart of pristine primary rainforest with each raised room offering views into the surrounding canopy. The dining room, lounge and bar area are all on raised decks at the crest of the glade looking into and above the primary rainforest. They are constructed from natural, traditionally used materials including locally woven raffia palm roofing panels. A star deck and fire pit are placed on a dropped deck below the main area for after dinner relaxation while a separate deck is located at a natural cooling off spot on the Ngaga Stream below Camp.

Questions about Ngaga
Where do the gorilla treks start?
From the camp itself, on foot. Ngaga sits within the overlapping home ranges of several groups of western lowland gorillas, two of which are habituated, which is why it is described as gorilla central and why it doubles as a base for world-class research.

Is there anything to do besides tracking gorillas?
