Ngaga Camp

Located in the Ndzehi Forest on the western boundary of the park, the lodge sits at the crest of a glade, blending in seamlessly with the surroundings, looking out across the forest canopy.

Each of the 6 forest huts are on raised wooden walkways, the thatch rooms have canvas screens at the front and back, hot showers, flush loos and ceiling fans, plus charging points for cameras and laptops, (but don’t expect wi-fi or phone reception).

After a day exploring, return to camp and as night falls the resident entomologist points out scorpions that glow in the dark whilst lanterns and fires are lit, for pre-dinner drinks at the bar. Traditional masks and statues line the walls that flicker in the lamplight, with the forest dark outside – this could only be the Congo.
