A WONDERFUL BASE FOR EXPLORATIONS
Resting in a scenic glade in the midst of untouched primary rainforest, the raised Ngaga Camp is a wonderful base for explorations in the private Ndzehe concession.
Accommodation at Ngaga consists of just six beautifully designed guestrooms that are elevated above the forest floor by stilts. The lounge, bar and dining room are also on raised decks with gorgeous views into and above the rainforest canopy. Below this you’ll find the star deck and fire pit – the perfect retreat after an evening meal.
The camp offers its guests the incredible opportunity to track groups of habituated western lowland gorillas on foot. You’ll be in the company of a knowledgeable guide and a highly skilled tracker who will interpret tell-tale sounds and signs in order to get close to these majestic creatures. The camp sits at the point where the home ranges of several gorilla groups overlap, which allows for some excellent sightings.
Gorilla tracking may be the main draw, but you also have the opportunity to spot putty-nosed monkeys, central chimpanzees, several duiker species and a myriad of birds and butterflies. Enjoy a night walk for a chance to experience the forest after dark and discover its unusual nocturnal creatures.
