Mboko Camp

mysterious savanna and riverine ecosystems

Mboko Camp is located in the Odzala Kokoua area to the north of Congo Brazzaville.

Set in a position which provides access to some very attractive savanna and riverine ecosystems, the camp is a comfortable and stylish little place, well presented and serviced.

The camp is centred on a main building under thatch, with very comfortable lounge and dining areas, leading out to a large open deck and campfire overlooking an open riverine plain, known locally as a “bai”.

Rooms

Guest accommodation at Mboko Camp is in twelve canvas and timber rooms, accessed by a network of raised pathways and each with private bathrooms and verandahs. Two of these are Family Suites, each with two bedrooms.

Activities

Mboko Camp offers the following guided activities …

• walking safari
• motorboat safari
• vehicle safari

It should come as no surprise that, in such extremely remote and cutting edge location, trips are inherently very expensive. You may need to buy into the importance of the conservation efforts in this area, before you can justify the costs.

The usual stay duration in Odzala-Kokoua is 6-9 nights, usually split between two or three camps.

Seasonality

In Odzala-Kokoua, the very rainy tropical conditions are always challenging, but the two windows of Jan-Mar and Jun-Sep can be significantly drier, making for easier conditions underfoot.

Getting there

Access to Odzala-Kokoua is via a two hour shared charter flight from the capital, Brazzaville.

From the airstrip it is a drive of around an hour through some pretty and varied scenery to arrive at the camp itself.

It is possible to drive in, but it is a very arduous journey of at least one long day.
