RESEARCH CENTER FOR ECOLOGY AND FORESTRY

The site (1947) includes several relatively well-preserved colonial-era buildings, including the superb mansion with period woodwork, which includes a small museum with old jars and animal bones. Visitors' villas overlook the lake, including the pavilion where King Leopold III stayed in the 50s. And, of course, the reserve, home to superb specimens of trees and vegetation along paths from which monkeys and birds can be spotted.
