Things to see and do Forêt De Ngotto

The lodge on the Island of the Red Buffalo offers all the above activities (hippos, Descente descent), and more: overland hikes are also proposed, with the introduction of rainforest biodiversity and the discovery of its various media in all their aspects: flora, mammals and birds, butterflies, mushrooms… Mountain bikes are available to visit nearby villages, and kayaks allow to enjoy the forest from a new perspective. The discovery of the life of a forest operation provides an opportunity to better understand the different methods of valuing timber, while preserving the great forest. Hippos: 50 000 FCFA for a group of up to 9 persons. Descent from Mbaere: 50 000 FCFA if you have your vehicle, if not rent it to the Red Buffalo (CFAF 60 000 per day). Pygmies dance at the corner of the fire: 90 000 FCFA for the group.

Located in the heart of Ecofac, this ethnological museum lists the different species living in the forest, drawing drawings. It also features some impressive skulls of gorillas and hippos. A section of the museum is devoted to the Pygmies Bofi. With relative interest if you don't have time, the museum represents a good introduction to the Ngotto ecosystem, with interesting pieces such as these craft carabines seized to poachers (one understands why they often explode their hands), a hunting of pygmy children, about snakes preserved in formaldehyde. He finally proposed an interesting sampling of missing animals in the region, such as the lion, the flying squirrel or the black rhino, the last specimen of which was killed by poachers in 1985.
