23 Dec 2015Let's all do the Congo! Maintaining a strategy for representing lodges and camps in less visited parts of Africa as well as mainstream destinations, Kamili is delighted to announce a partnership with Congo Conservation Company (CCC), to market their three Odzala Discovery Camps in Congo-Brazzaville. Odzala is a near-mythical place of astounding biodiversity - a place few people have ever had the chance to visit. Odzala Discovery Camps are proud to be able to offer a unique, life-changing opportunity to visit the forests of the Congo Basin, in safety and comfort. Clients can experience the ultimate safari adventure as they explore the towering forests, crystal-clear streams and expansive open savannah of north-west Congo: track western lowland gorillas through pristine rainforest and discover a mosaic of grasslands and waterways as you search out unique birds and wildlife. This is a safari like no other, and today, it is finally within reach (if your clients are ready for it). Tim Henshall, Kamili’s MD added that “We first visited Congo in 2012 with Leslie Nevison, prior to Wilderness’ launch. These luxury camps have significantly raised accommodation standards in the region and we are simply delighted to be involved with Odzala Discovery Lodges in marketing the properties and their packages. Odzala is an pioneering, exciting, adventurous and yet safe ‘product’ for Africa specialist travel professionals to add into their offering!” LANGO CAMP A beautiful 6-roomed Camp nestled in dense gallery forest overlooking the productive Lango Bai and with access to the Lekoli River and the surrounding savannah. NGAGA CAMP A delightful Camp consisting of 6 rooms that rests in a glade within primary forest above the Ngaga Stream and within the home ranges of several groups of western lowland gorillas, two of which are habituated.
