Camp Details
Situated on the banks of the Sangha River in the Dzanga-Sangha special reserve, Sangha lodge is the perfect spot from which to explore the lowland gorillas and forest elephants of the Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve.
The lodge consists of 7 well appointed bungalows, each with its own ensuite bathroom, with hot and cold running water and flush toilets. A small kitchen produces simple yet tasty Western and African foods and a well stocked bar with cold drinks always ensure a cold drink at the end of the day on your return.
The lodge is a great place not only to stay for lowland gorilla safaris in Dzanga Sangha, but is also great for birdwatching.
WHY CHOOSE SANGHA LODGE?
- Elephants at Dzanga, and habituated gorillas are easy to see all year round.
- Dzanga Bai is large mineral rich clearing in the middle of the rain forest where forest elephants gather in large numbers to indulge in drinking the mineral rich waters that bubble up in places in this Bai.
- Heading upriver by boat you will hike to a series of waterfalls in the area.
- Climbing to the top of the falls will provide vistas over the canopy of the forest while the possibility of seeing the extremely rare and endangered Grey-necked Rock fowl will excite any birders.
- In the evening you may do a night walk near the lodge with the hope of finding some of the more elusive nocturnal animals such as Potto, Thomas’s Galago, Tree Pangolin, African Palm Civet, Frazer’s Eagle Owl, Vermiculated Fishing Owl and several more.
Questions about Sangha Lodge
What is Dzanga Bai?
It is a large, mineral-rich clearing in the middle of the rainforest where forest elephants gather in numbers to drink the mineral waters that bubble up in places. Along with habituated gorillas, which are easy to see all year round, it is the main reason people travel to Dzanga-Sangha.
Can children join the gorilla tracking?
All children are welcome at the lodge, though not during set departures. Children must be sixteen or older to take part in the gorilla tracking itself, but may be younger for the other activities, so a family trip is possible with some planning.

A good deal for naturalists. Heading upriver by boat you hike to a series of waterfalls, and climbing to the top gives views over the forest canopy with a chance of the very rare grey-necked rockfowl.
