Dja Faunal Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest (526.000 ha) and best-protected rainforests in Africa! The reserve is almost entirely surrounded by the Dja River. The Dja Reserve is very well-known for the abundance of biodiversity it offers and a wide variety of animals including elephants, buffalo, and leopards!  The forest has remained largely undisturbed and is an integral part of the Congo Basin. 

Within the forest lives a group of Baka Pygmies who continue to live and thrive from the land using their traditional methods. This tour will allow you to explore their lifestyle for a few hours!
