About CONKOUATI DOULI NATIONAL PARK

CONKOUATI DOULI NATIONAL PARK is one of the Republic of Congo’s most important conservation areas, covering a wide range of habitats that support an extraordinary variety of wildlife species.

The region is home to chimpanzees, forest elephants, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, sea turtles, manatees, and hundreds of tropical bird species. The unique combination of rainforest and Atlantic coastline makes this park unlike any traditional safari destination in Africa.

One moment may be spent travelling through dense tropical forest, while the next opens onto peaceful lagoons, mangrove waterways, or untouched beaches along the coast.

The park also plays an important role in conservation and sustainable tourism initiatives across the Congo Basin.
