Gabon is a magnificent country in Central Africa and is still unknown to the general public. Despite its beautiful parks with a wealth of greenery and animals, there is very little infrastructure and prices for Gabon remain unaffordable for most people to this day. We work together with a local partner in Gabon and have a budget formula in the National Park of Lopé which we combine with a stay on the coast of Gabon where you can see animals such as elephants and hippos near the beach.Group travel
We do group travel in collaboration with travel agencies and large groups and this is tailor-made. We also have some fixed dates for group tours in Bas-Congo, the Congo River and our bonobo expedition. Contact us if you want to book a group trip in Congo.Why choose Congo Voyages?
We are the only local agency with people who are actually on site, and next to a “lost Belgian expat”, our team consists entirely of Congolese locals with many years of experience in the field. We work closely with the authorities such as the Ministry of Tourism, ICCN, but also the military who help us to secure sensitive areas. Our tours will only take place if all safety conditions have been met and the necessary permissions have been granted and if we have been given the green light from the local authorities/chiefs if necessary.
Beware of travel agents who copy our itineraries and offer our tours for a lower price. Most of them are Ugandan, Rwandan and even Spanish operators who have never been to Congo and recruit locals without knowledge of the field or a license on the internet to do their travels, often with disastrous results, with people being arrested or defrauded and put in jail. worst case no one even shows up. Unfortunately, we also see a few local individuals offering unsafe tours.
