LOMAKO-YOKOKALA WILDLIFE RESERVE

Created in 2006, this reserve covers an area of 362,500 hectares. It is accessed through Basankusu, 200 km from Mbandaka. The reserve is part of the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba forest landscape, and adjoins the Lomako forest. The forest zone covers 80% of the reserve's surface area, while the remaining 20% is made up of swampy areas. The interest of this reserve lies in the presence of a large number of bonobos, among many other typical species.
