Guided tours Central African Republic

At the end of a 20 km track, very poorly maintained, is the scientific camp of Pora, which, before, served as a base camp for poachers, starting point of the excursion. It is recommended from the campsite at 5 h or 6 h, because later, the animals flee the rays of the sun. You will have to leave your car and walk for a quarter of an hour. In any case, the services of a guide, recruited from Ecofac de Ngotto, will be required.

On a clear Serve, you slip without any other noise than the cries of animals and the sound of the rame, in the heart of the great equatorial forest, living and generous: on the other hand, immense vegetation walls reveal the silhouettes of the few galeritus monkeys and other cephus (from May to July, when the trees have yielded their fruits, the monkeys are particularly numerous) which jump from tree to tree at dizzying speed. But also wild ducks, varans, caïmans or others… You have to see them eating the fruits of the huge raphias that came into the water and seem to play the piano on the surface. In an aquatic maze, in an initiation walk in the heart of a rare and protected world, you will descend the Serve for almost 3 hours.

Piroguiers keep their boats available to visitors at the bottom of the Oubangui Hotel or to the Rock-Club, for walks on the Monkeys island (central island that has not seen monkeys for a long time) or to the rapids of the Oubangui. We can also row up to the Saint Paul des Rapids mission, whose conical roof of green copper bouteille the river. It is an opportunity to walk around the unfinished cathedral: huge concrete arcades abandoned due to lack of means.

The Plage beach, accessible only in dry season, can be reached by road: take the direction of Ngaragba in excess of the Oubangui Hotel. Follow the Centrale central prison and cross the Marché market. Arrive at a junction of several tracks, take that on the right for a good kilometre, to Landja. Then there are 9 km to go to reach the village of Pama, where you will have to pay a guide to drive you to the river, if you come there for the first time. In dry season, sand benches of all sizes allow to swim without risk. For the less sports, it is also possible to rent one of the little cabana mounted by the villagers on the water.
