Republic of the Congo
15 nights / 16 days
Small ship: max. 28 passengers in 14 cabins
Princess Ngalessa
A 16-day expedition to the rarely visited Congo Basin, including 7 nights aboard the boutique ship Princesse Ngalessa, 5 nights at a lodge in the tri-national Sangha region of Central Africa with gorilla tracking, 1 night in a tent during bonobo tracking in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and 2 nights in Ouesso
A 16-day expedition through the heart of Africa—river adventures, rainforest, and encounters with gorillas and bonobos
This extraordinary expedition takes you to one of the most pristine regions on our planet. It combines a roughly 700-kilometer river journey along the Congo and Alima Rivers aboard the elegant boutique ship Princesse Ngalessa with in-depth wildlife viewing in the world’s second-largest rainforest.
You’ll spend seven nights aboard the elegant Princesse Ngalessa, five nights at a remote lodge in the heart of the tri-national Sangha region, one night at a tented camp during bonobo tracking in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and two nights in Ouesso.
In small dinghies, you’ll explore winding river branches and dense swamp forests, go on hikes through pristine rainforest, and encounter fascinating wildlife. The Congo Basin is home to forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, bongos, buffalo, and more than 350 species of birds. Highlights include gorilla tracking in the Sangha region, bonobo tracking with an overnight stay at a camp in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the famous Dzanga-Baï clearing, where up to 150 forest elephants regularly gather.
Equally impressive are the encounters with the indigenous communities of Central Africa, including the Téké people, who offer an authentic glimpse into their centuries-old traditions and their close connection to the rainforest.
The Princesse Ngalessa Boutique Ship – only 14 cabins
With just 14 cabins, the Princesse Ngalessa is the only expedition ship in the Congo. Completed in Kinshasa in 2017, this boutique ship draws architectural inspiration from the legendary passenger ships that have been sailing the waterways of Central Africa for decades. On board, you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere, personalized service, and excellent cuisine that combines French culinary artistry with the flavors of Central Africa.
Two itineraries
Upstream: Brazzaville – Oyo
Your expedition begins in Brazzaville and first takes you down the Congo and Alima Rivers deep into the Congo Basin. After the river journey, you’ll go on a bonobo tracking expedition with an overnight stay at a camp in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, before spending five days at a lodge in the heart of the Sangha region. The return trip is by plane from Ouesso to Brazzaville.

Entry and safety information:
The U.S. Department of State provides the following information for travel to the Republic of Congo.
The trip is not recommended for people with limited mobility.
Destination: Congo Basin
The second largest tropical rainforest after the Amazon rainforest has an extraordinary flora and fauna. Many areas have never been explored by humans. As a result, the jungle is particularly intact and the wildlife is very abundant.
There are large numbers of lowland gorillas (200,000 individuals), forest elephants (8,000 individuals), chimpanzees, bonobos, hippos, bongos, bush pigs, buffalo, blue duikers, sitatungas, panthers, etc. Most of these species can be observed in Bai Mbeli, a clearing covering several hectares that is rich in mineral salts, flowers, and nutritious leaves.
In addition to Nile crocodiles, Goliath tigerfish, and pangolins , the Congo Basin is home to more than 350 bird species, including the black-chinned weaver, the Finsch's francolin, and the Congo wheatear . You can also discover large, mysterious species such as the black-bellied bustard and the Senegal bustard, as well as other rare species such as the black-headed bee-eater and Sladen's barbican, popular forest species such as the African grey parrot and various species of hornbills, turacos, kingfishers, barbicans, small barbets, sunbirds, and weavers can be discovered—along with thousands upon thousands of insects and over 10,000 plant species.
Further information at a glance:
- Large national parks such as Nouabalé-Ndoki, Lac Télé, Dzanga-Sangha, and Lobéké are World Heritage Sites and examples of ecosystem management.
- Indigenous populations preserve ancestral traditions and ancient knowledge. The Pygmies are the last hunters and gatherers in the world who have preserved their way of life. They live in complete harmony with the forest and with a vibrant culture. The Sangha-sangha peoples live on the banks of the rivers, while the Batékés are at home in the hills.
- Travel in the footsteps of the great explorers (Conrad, Stanley, Livingstone, Brazza) to the heart of the African continent.
- Accessibility: 7 hours flight time from Europe.

itinerary
Itinerary upstream from Brazzaville to Oyo
We offer the trip in two directions:
- Upstream from Brazzaville to Oyo: We are covering this route day by day here.
- Downstream from Oyo to Brazzaville: This route is exactly the reverse and begins with an overnight stay in a hotel in Brazzaville and a 45-minute flight over the rainforest to Ouesso on the morning of the second day. There, your expedition begins on land until you board the Princesse Ngalessa in Oyo on day 9 and follow the Congo and Alima rivers to Brazzaville. We will be happy to send you the detailed itinerary on request.
Your travel to and from Brazzaville is not included in your tour price.
Since our customers all have individual wishes for their trip, we are happy to book flights separately. Of course, the flights then become part of a secure package tour. We recommend an overnight stay in Brazzaville to cushion any irregularities with the flight or loss of luggage. We are happy to organize everything for you on request. Please contact us.
Day 1: Welcome aboard!
After arriving in Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo, you will board the Princesse Ngalessa in the afternoon and spend your first night on the ship.
If you booked your trip through us, you will already have spent at least one night in a hotel in Brazzaville.
Overnight stay on board
Day 2: Cast off
After breakfast, your river expedition up the Congo begins—passing by rolling green hills. Brazzaville lies behind you, and the dense rainforest stretches out ahead. During the first few kilometers of the river journey, you’ll get to know your tour guides and gain fascinating insights into the history and culture of the Congo.
Overnight stay on board
Day 3: The Téké Kingdom and the Kébé-Kébé Dance
In the morning, you will visit Ngabe, one of the ancient capitals of the Téké Kingdom. You will climb through the village to meet the reigning queen. As guardian of "Nkwembali," the spiritual deity of the Bateke, she is the only person authorized to transfer power to the new king, the Makoko. She wields great influence in the Téké Kingdom, one of the most important kingdoms in the country.
You will experience a Kébé-Kébé ritual, a dance and an initiation ceremony from the Congo. In its usual form, the Kébé-Kébé dance resembles the whirling dervishes. The dancers wear raffia robes adorned with feathers from various birds and move a doll, which usually represents a painted Koyo head and displays the characteristic scar patterns of the ethnic group.
Overnight stay on board
Day 4: Bonobo tracking in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Bonobos are a rare and endemic species of chimpanzee found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are genetically closest to humans, sharing 98.7% of their genetic makeup with us. Three bonobo groups can be observed around the village of Nkala—the only place in the world where you can encounter semi-habituated bonobos in the wild.
In the morning, you will leave the ship and drive for about two hours through hilly terrain to the bonobo camp. There, you will gain insight into the project developed by local communities to protect bonobos and learn more about their way of life and the challenges of species conservation work.
Overnight stay in a tent camp
Day 5: Bonobo tracking
After waking up, you set off early for the forest and position yourself beneath the bonobo nests. As soon as the bonobos wake up, you watch them stretch and start their day. You then follow them to continue your observation. Towards late morning, you return to Princesse Ngalessa.
Overnight stay on board
Day 6: The town of Mossaka and its famous salted fish & the village of Likendze
In the morning, you will set off to explore the town of Mossaka. You will discover traces of the colonial era and visit the lively local market, where you can immerse yourself in the everyday life of the locals. On a tour through the narrow streets, you will see the traditional fish dryers used to make salted fish – a technique for which Mossaka is famous throughout the region. You will also learn about the production of palm wine and meet a potter. After lunch, you will return to the ship and continue your journey towards Likendze.
In the village of Likendze on the Sangha River, you will learn about various fishing techniques, including casting nets, trap fishing, and net fishing. If you wish, you can even try your hand at fishing with a line. In the late afternoon, you will go bird watching and look for birds typical of the region, including ospreys, palm vultures, African fish eagles, hammerheads, cormorants, kingfishers, weavers, ibises, gray herons, storks, herons, hornbills, magpies, Brazza's swallows, and the shy turaco.
Overnight stay on board
Day 7: Alima River and the Moye people
In the morning, you will set off in excursion boats to observe the hippos that live a few kilometers north of the village. Back on board, you will continue up the Alima River —a beautiful narrow and winding river surrounded by swamp forests. You will end the day in the village of Bonda, where you will meet the Moye people. The villagers accompany you as you explore the flooded forest – by canoe or on foot, depending on the water level.
In the evening, the Moye perform a traditional dance ceremony on the riverbank. After dark, you will circle the area in boats, listen to the sounds of the forest, and perhaps be lucky enough to spot the glowing eyes of crocodiles.
Overnight stay on board
Day 8: Traditional medicine
You continue along the Alima River. Passing the many bends in the river, you will discover charming raffia villages on the banks. Later, you will reach the village of Mondongo, which is also built mainly from raffia and inhabited by the Moye people. A local guide will explain the traditional preparation of remedies. The swamp forest is full of plants that the villagers use to treat illnesses and injuries.
In the afternoon, accompanied by your knowledgeable guides, you will take a walk through the forest. You will learn more about the different trees and plants as well as the secret life of the forest – from the fascinating world of insects to the interactions between flora and fauna in the lush canopy.
Overnight stay on board
Day 9: Transfer to Ouesso, capital of Sangha
After lunch, you will disembark and begin your bus journey to Ouesso through bushland and tropical rainforest (approx. 6 hours). The route runs along the eastern border of Odzala-Kokoua National Park.
Overnight stay in a local hotel
Days 10 to 14: Discoveries in the tri-national Sangha region
The Sangha region is a unique UNESCO World Heritage Site in the northwestern Congo Basin, on the border between Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Republic of Congo. The protected area consists of three contiguous national parks with a total of around 750,000 hectares of untouched rainforest. Here you will find an enormous diversity of species: Nile crocodiles, impressive Goliath tigerfish, forest elephants, endangered western lowland gorillas, and vulnerable chimpanzees.
Day 10 – On the Sangha River
In the morning, you will set off in small boats on the upper reaches of the Sangha River towards Bayanga in the Central African Republic. The approximately 7.5-hour trip takes you through dense rainforest, past small villages and settlements. Along the way, you can observe numerous bird species and, with a little luck, monkeys. In the afternoon, you will reach your lodge and enjoy a sundowner with a view of the river.
Overnight stay in a lodge by the river
Day 11 – Gorilla tracking
After a short drive to the gorilla base camp, your hike through the forest begins. Accompanied by experienced BaAka trackers, you will follow the tracks of the gorilla groups and observe the animals from a safe distance. Young animals play, females eat, the silverback stands guard. After about an hour, you will set off again, taking unforgettable impressions with you.
Overnight stay in a lodge by the river
Day 12 – Dzangha-Baï: The village of elephants
Early in the morning, you will visit the famous Dzangha-Baï clearing, where up to 150 elephants can be spotted in a single day. From the observation platform in the tree, you will also see buffalo, bongos, sitatungas, and numerous bird species. Sufficient time for photos is of course planned.
Overnight stay in a lodge by the river
Day 13 – Hokous salt licks and their inhabitants
In the morning, you will explore the seven Hokous bais, natural salt licks in the rainforest. On hikes, you will discover elephants, gorillas, forest hogs, antelopes, and numerous bird species. Local trackers will help you observe agile mangabeys – silver-gray monkeys that move skillfully through the canopy and maintain their social structures through a variety of sounds.
Overnight stay in a lodge by the river
Day 14 – Encounter with the BaAka pygmies
You will immerse yourself in the culture of the BaAka, one of the region's best-known forest peoples. For example, you will experience traditional net hunting, learn about medicinal plants, collect honey, or help with fishing. After lunch, the tribe will perform an impressive water drumming ceremony, in which they rhythmically beat the water. You will end the day with a walk through Bayanga.
Overnight stay in a lodge by the river
Day 15: Return to Ouesso
After four days in the national park, you will return to Ouesso on a 7-hour excursion boat trip. You will have another opportunity to enjoy the untouched forest before viewing it from above the next day.
Overnight stay in a local hotel
Day 16: Flight to Brazzaville
After the shared transfer to the airport, you will board your return flight to Brazzaville . Through the airplane windows, you will see the deep green canopy of the rainforest and gain a whole new perspective on the pristine Congo Basin.
After lunch, you’ll get to know the famous Sape (Société des Ambianceurs et des personnes Élégantes) and then discover some of the city’s cultural highlights: the Musée du Bassin du Congo, the Poto-Poto Art School, and the Basilica of Sainte-Anne.
In the evening, departure for Paris on Air France. Passengers who have chosen Ethiopian Airlines will need an additional night's stay at a hotel in Brazzaville, as the return flight does not depart until the following morning.
If you'd rather not fly home right away, please feel free to ask us about options for extending your stay!
Your pre- and post-expedition extensions
Before and after your time on board, programs in the protected areas of the Congo Basin will enhance your trip; between July and September, you’ll set out from Pointe-Noire to see the humpback whales. We’ll tailor all the components of your trip to your individual needs upon request.
Gorillas in the Lesio-Louna Reserve (upon request, 1 day)
About a three-hour drive north of Brazzaville lies the Lesio-Louna Reserve, a mosaic of rainforest, savanna hills, and river courses. The reserve collaborates with the gorilla conservation project PPG (Projet Protection des Gorilles), which takes in orphaned western lowland gorillas and prepares them for their return to the forest.
From the motorboat, you’ll approach the forested islands where the gorillas spend their acclimatization period and watch the animals eat, climb, and move about in their family groups. During the river cruise, you’ll also spot a group of hippos. The excursion begins in the morning in Brazzaville; the gorilla viewing lasts about three and a half hours, and you’ll be back in the city by evening. No special physical fitness is required, as the viewing takes place from the boat.
Odzala-Kokoua National Park (upon request, 4 days)
Established in 1935, Odzala-Kokoua National Park is one of Africa’s oldest national parks and encompasses approximately 13,500 square kilometers of wilderness in the heart of the Congo Basin. It is home to one of the world’s highest densities of western lowland gorillas, as well as forest elephants, chimpanzees, and antelopes such as the sitatunga.
From Oyo or Ouesso, you’ll travel to the camp at Imbalanga-Baï, a clearing that gorillas frequent because of its sour grasses; from the observation platform, with a little luck, you’ll see young gorillas playing and females feeding. On the morning of the second day, you’ll follow the gorilla trails with the habituation team and learn to read tracks and nests; in the afternoon, you’ll drive to Moba Pool, where forest elephants extract minerals from the ground. The third day takes you on foot through the rainforest to the Mambili River and by motorboat to Lokoué Camp; along the way, you can spot elephants, buffalo, monitor lizards, and kingfishers. On the fourth day, you’ll return to Ouesso and continue by plane to Brazzaville or Oyo.
You'll be staying overnight at the camp. For the hikes, you should be able to walk for about three hours; a shorter itinerary is also available.
Chimpanzees of Tchimpounga (upon request, 1 day)
The Tchimpounga Rehabilitation Center is the largest sanctuary of its kind in Africa: Since it opened in 1992, more than two hundred chimpanzees have been cared for here, all of them victims of poaching and illegal trade. The sanctuary is run by the Jane Goodall Institute.
From Pointe-Noire, it’s a one-hour drive to the harbor at Bas Kouilou, and from there you’ll continue by motorized pirogue up the Kouilou River through the forest, with good opportunities for birdwatching along the way. Around ten chimpanzees appear on the first island to be fed, and depending on the season, a second group may also be seen on another island. You’ll be back at the harbor around noon; for this excursion, you’ll spend two to three nights in the port city of Pointe-Noire on the Atlantic coast.
