Africa's beating heart

Miles from the beaten track, the Central African Republic is a haven for some of Africa's rarest animals including forest elephant, black-bellied pangolin and western lowland gorilla. This is a country about to unlock its immense potential.

## A country of outstanding natural wonder, begging to be discovered.

Despite facing political and social challenges, the Central African Republic possesses a rich cultural heritage and is home to unique wildlife.

Despite the embassy warnings against travel to CAR, there is just one area that we can confidently recommend, Sangha National Park. It is safe to visit and is a park filled with exciting things to see and do. There is just one lodge within the park, so if you are interested in seeing pangolin and experiencing one of the most pristine wildernesses in the world, this is it.

If you are passionate about adventure, wilderness and conservation, the CAR should certainly be on your list.

## Country profile

Spanning over vast areas, Sangha showcases a diverse range of ecosystems, including dense rainforests, savannahs, and river systems. This park is renowned for its rich biodiversity, housing an array of rare and endangered species such as Forest elephant, gorillas, chimpanzees, and various bird species. It serves as a crucial conservation area, providing protection to these threatened animals and preserving their natural habitats. Sangha National Park stands as a testament to the beauty and importance of Africa's wildlife and ecosystems.

Combining Sangha with a stay in neighbouring Republic of Congo's Odzala National Park allows for access to Sangha via boat, avoiding the country's main ports of entry.
