Garamba National Park
Africa's Last Frontier
Track critically endangered Kordofan giraffes, forest elephants, and Congo lions across 5,200 km² of pristine savanna in the DRC's remote north-east.
Why Garamba Matters
Established in 1938 and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, Garamba is one of the oldest protected areas in Africa. It is the last stronghold for the Kordofan giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum) in the DRC, a subspecies whose global population has fallen below 2,000 individuals.
Co-managed since 2005 by the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) and African Parks, Garamba has become a global model for landscape-scale conservation: anti-poaching patrols, community livelihoods, and elephant collaring programs have stabilised wildlife populations after decades of conflict-driven decline.
For travellers, Garamba offers something almost no other African park can — true wilderness without crowds. Game drives, walking safaris, ranger patrols, and chartered scenic flights reveal a savanna ecosystem stretching to the South Sudan border.
