Lango Lodge

Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Republic of Congo

Jungle treehouse

Located in the remote north of the Republic of Congo, within the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Lango Lodge sits on the edge of the savannah, with easy access to both the Lekoli and Mambili Rivers.

Each of the six creatively designed guest rooms is inspired by the traditional architecture of the local B’Aka Pygmy communities. Elevated three to four metres above the ground, they offer views over part of the bai and the surrounding gallery forest. Floating wooden walkways connect the rooms to the central lodge area, which is built using natural, locally sourced materials such as sustainably harvested timber, bamboo, and raffia palm thatch woven by local communities. A sunken deck with a star-gazing platform and fire pit overlooks the bai—an ideal spot for after-dinner relaxation.

Excursions from Lango are designed to showcase a wide variety of habitats, wildlife, and experiences for full immersion in the richness of the rainforest. Activities include walking and boating—combined with some game drives—in search of forest species such as forest buffalo, forest elephant, sitatunga, and harnessed bushbuck, as well as primates like guereza colobus, grey-cheeked mangabey, and putty-nosed monkey.

Lango Lodge offers a genuine wilderness experience, set deep in the gallery forest with sweeping views over the vibrant Lango Bai.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
