Rainforest Expeditions – Congo Basin

The Congo Basin rainforest is the world's second-largest tropical rainforest after the Amazon, covering approximately 1.7 million square kilometers across six countries, with DRC containing the majority. This vast ecosystem, often called 'the lungs of Africa,' absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide and produces oxygen while harboring extraordinary biodiversity. Rainforest expeditions offer opportunities to experience pristine wilderness, track wildlife including gorillas, bonobos, forest elephants, and okapis, and engage with indigenous forest peoples like the Mbuti and Aka.
