Room

Mboko Camp counts twelve suites. Thatched and built on the lush green of the grasslands, the open design of the cabins invites you to linger after daily exploration tours. Two of the twelve rooms have been specially designed for families. Each one blends harmoniously into the forest landscape of the national park thanks to traditional construction methods. You can hear the lapping of the Lekoli River from the private veranda. Since each accommodation unit scores with its own viewing deck and comfortable deck chairs, you can also simply enjoy the hustle and bustle of Odzala-Kokoua Park in intimate togetherness - surrounded by breathtaking flora and fauna.

Culinary

Dine on the wooden platform standing in the open grassland, covered with bamboo palm fronds in typical country style. In the longhouse with its pointed roof, the house's hardworking team serves breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. Since all sides of the longhouse are open, you have a great view outside from every table. Characterized by dark woods, the restaurant's interior also blends in with its surroundings. Dine at one of the double and group tables or make yourself comfortable in one of the wicker recliners. A massive fire bowl is ready for evening bonfires, just waiting for exciting stories to be told by crackling lights. Guests will find a barbecue under a large arbor on a wooden platform that overlooks the shore and houses several tables and seating areas. Furthermore, Mboko Camp has a bar as well as a lounge.

Activities

Wade through the waters of the rainforest and explore the surrounding area around Mboko Camp with guided guides. Both the savannah and the dense rainforest of Congo can be explored with the camp as a base. The trained guides know the area like the back of their hand and are happy to take guests on one of the many activities - whether on foot, in a boat or in a rugged off-road vehicle. Rare animals such as the shy forest elephants, which with a bit of luck can be observed on banks while drinking, as well as various species of monkeys can be seen. If you are really lucky, you will spot a hippopotamus. The savannah landscape not far from the camp is littered with termite mounds and is home to hyenas, aardvarks, servals and a variety of other wildlife.
