Loueme River Overnight Adventure from Pointe Noire - Overnight Tour

On our river overnight adventure, you will pass the day on the Loueme River and see some ancient villages, very serene and terrifically traditional, and spend the night immersed in the local life, running largely unchanged in the Congolese Coastal zone for time immemorial. If you feel you haven't gotten any taste of the better side of Congo since arrival, try our Loueme Overnight!  

Our Louémé river trip brings you the best of both worlds: nature and culture. You will be picked up by our staff at your hotel in the morning and brought to the Louémé river banks outside of Pointe-Noire. Enjoy a relaxing day on the boat with a beer or tea while discovering the local lifestyle of the villagers living near the river. In the evening you have the opportunity to sleep in a local village to truly experience the local culture. 

After breakfast the next morning, after a night under the green canopy and starry skies, you will be brought home.

TRIP NOTES:

*Besides a few drinks and snacks, meals aren't included, so bring some back-up snacks and a meal or something satisfactory for dinner. Accommodation is very basic so you can also opt to have barbeque instead and return to Pointe-Noire during the evening. 

**Please bring enough water, mosquito repellent, sun cream, swimming clothes and a towel and a hat and sunglasses, as the sunlight on the boat is quite bright. 

***Guides are paid for, but it's good custom to offer some drinks, snacks, sweets or cigarettes of your own. This will bring you a long way in Congo.

리뷰

“Am just back from a wonderful 2 centre trip to the Republic of Congo. Started with 3 days in Pointe Noire and Conkouati National Park on the coast. The 2 days spent at the chimp rehabilitation and re wilding centre deep inside the park were magical, especially the boat ride up river into dense jungle. The volunteers, Heather, Clement and Chloe, couldn't have been kinder and my CTT guides Badji ( who coped gallantly with my abominable French! ) and Yves really went out of their way to make my stay a happy one. Much appreciated. The second leg took me to Brazzaville and included a ride up the mighty Congo to a fishing village and 2 days in Louna National Park, accompanied by lovely French Canadian Michael, who was the perfect host/guide... ,everything laid on right down to the bottle of Absolut he whipped out of his cold box along with a smoked chicken at our jungle camp. The camp has all mod cons, don't worry. The baby gorillas were beyond cute. The Congolese conservation staff do a fantastic job of caring for the orphaned ( with the hope of re introducing them into the wild ) and the elderly. The river trip was another stunner. In Congo, don't expect to see animals in the vast numbers you might get in the safari parks of Eastern and Southern Africa but the quality of the experience is what counts not the quantity of creatures. I will never forget the brief moment I looked into the eyes of a shy forest elephant only feet away in Conkouati and close encounters with swimming hippos in Louna Park; the boat had to make a rapid getaway from a big male who objected to us lurking around his ladies. CTT does a very professional job... and that's from someone who works in the tourism industry herself! Highly recommended."
