Sangha Lodge Activities

Sangha Lodge's situation on the bank of the Sangha River make it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
Situated on the edge of the Dzangha Sangha reserve, we have easy access to all activities in the park as well as some of our own that we are developing.

Some activities are under our direct control, and these include:

1. Boat trips on the SANGHA and BABONGO Rivers. We have introduced an evening sundowner cruise up river from the lodge taking you into the area of the hill where the river narrows considerably. Once there, the motor is turned off and we drift down slowly while drinking gin and tonics or beer as we watch the sunset over the forest. 
2. Bird watching along our 3 km access road and along the series of forest trails which we have cut.
3. Fishing for a host of different fish types, with the ultimate being Goliath Tiger fish.
4. Spotlighting around the camp and from the boat to find some of the more unusual nocturnal species like Galago, Potto, Gennet, Civit, Golden Cat, Hammer-Bat and a number of owls.
5. We also have a small project with the Ba'aka people where we go into the forest and spend the night with them in a forest camp. The dimension of music and dance that you experience here is something that few westerners will ever see. All monies from this activity go directly to the Ba'aka to help with education and health issues.

Visits from local experts and conservationists when they are available can add a welcome dimension around the dinner table at night.
