Båttur från Brazzaville till Oyo - Kongofloden och Alimafloden

Fyra dagars resa på Kongofloden kan bara vara den verkligaste och råaste upplevelsen du någonsin kommer att ha. Även om båten är långt ifrån lyx, ger den bara en inblick i hur livet är i Kongo. När du kust längs Kongofloden är du omgiven av en makalös skönhet, en regnskog som är nästan helt orörd. Skulle du ha lite extra tid kan du förlänga din resa med tre dagar för att besöka Louna National Park och besöka låglandsgorillorna, eller med fem dagar för att besöka både Louna Gorillas and Park och Lefini River och Lefini Elephant Sanctuary for African Forest Elephants!
