{"product_id":"the-congo-gorillas-of-the-rainforest","title":"The Congo: Gorillas of the Rainforest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Congo Basin is one of the last great rainforests on Earth. It is older, denser and far less travelled than the safari landscapes most people know. Here, the wildlife is not lined up on open plains. It is hidden in green shadow, heard before it is seen, revealed slowly to those willing to move at the forest's pace. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoin multi award-winning wildlife photographer Martin Gregus on a 10-night journey through Odzala-Kokoua National Park in the Republic of the Congo, one of Central Africa's most important rainforest wildernesses. This expedition follows Kamba's classic Odzala route, moving between Ngaga, Lango and Mboko lodges, each revealing a different side of the forest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Ngaga, the focus is western lowland gorillas. Three gorilla tracking permits are included, with expert guides and trackers leading small groups into closed-canopy forest where habituated gorilla groups move, feed and rest. Between tracks, forest ecology walks, nocturnal safaris and time with the local guiding team begin to open up the rainforest in a different way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom there, the journey moves to Lango Bai and the waterways around Mboko: kayaking the Lekoli River, walking through bai, forest and savanna, searching for forest elephants, buffalo, monkeys, birds, bongo, hippos and the traces of animals you may never see directly but will feel everywhere around you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Martin beside you, this becomes more than rare wildlife access. It is a chance to learn how to observe patiently, work with low light and dense forest, and create images in one of the most complex ecosystems on the planet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTen nights. Three Kamba lodges. Three gorilla tracks. Limited to just 8 guests. One of Africa’s least understood wild places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airguides25","offers":[{"title":"7 June - 16 June 2027 (Confirmed) \/ Pay in Full","offer_id":49137737826556,"sku":null,"price":22750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 June - 16 June 2027 (Confirmed) \/ Pay Deposit","offer_id":49137737859324,"sku":null,"price":3750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2662\/3740\/files\/Kamba_james_kydd05.jpg?v=1779868317","url":"https:\/\/airguides.com\/products\/the-congo-gorillas-of-the-rainforest","provider":"Airguides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
