Lango Camp, on the edge of Lango Baï, offers one of the most arresting views of any camp in Africa. A magnetic attraction for huge flocks of Green Pigeons and African Grey Parrots as well as herds of Forest Buffalo and Forest Elephants, wraparound walkways and elevated chalets maximise the views.

Lango Camp is located within the south-central part of Odzala-Kokoua National Park, nestled in dense gallery forest overlooking the productive Lango Bai (saline marsh), with access to the Lekoli River and the surrounding savanna.  Just six individual thatched rooms urvey the bai and are constructed from natural materials such as locally woven raffia palm panels. Each has two twin beds, mosquito netting, fans, en suite bathroom with shower, flush toilet and environmentally friendly soaps and shampoos. Electricity is supplied by solar energy with a back-up generator if required. Each room has a 360-degree wraparound viewing walkway. Raised walkways wind through the forest and connect the rooms to the public areas. A star deck and fire pit are located a dropped deck overlooking the bai for after-dinner relaxation and star-gazing. 

Activities from Lango Camp focus on the bai itself, nearby salines, the Lekoli River and surrounding savanna. Most activities are a combination of walking and boating, while some game drives are included. Boating on the Lekoli River is done in a variety of craft ranging from aluminium boats to motorized traditional pirogues and even kayaks, via which we explore the river’s flat waters. Forest buffalo and western sitatunga are regular visitors to the bai at any time of day, while forest elephant and spotted hyena are more typically seen after dark. Nocturnal visitors include the rare bongo, leopard and red river hog. Guereza colobus monkeys are frequently seen in camp, while harnessed bushbuck and various forest duiker species are often encountered nearby.

Other primates, such as grey-cheeked mangabey and putty-nosed monkey are commonly seen, and chimpanzees are regularly heard from camp. Guests sometimes see hippo in the Lekoli River as well as two harmless species of crocodile, the slender-snouted crocodile and the African dwarf crocodile.

Tranquillity. Contemplation. Peace. Moments like this demand you to be present. To make time stand still. Where seconds feel like hours, and the senses are heightened. Often time, slowing down will get you to the destination faster.
