This place is unique in the full meaning of the word. I was there first in 1992. I returned recently and was amazed again. I must also stress the positive results of conservation. Dedicated at least 2 visits to this specific Baï. You will be blessed by 100's of forest elephants (Loxondonta cyclotis), bongos, giant forest hogs, forest buffaloes, etc. This is also the territory of the Ba'Aka people.

It's bizarre that there is 100% certainty of spotting elephants here, a beautiful place

The crown jewel of Sangha Trinational, a United Nations world heritage site. It’s an animal kingdom, where African forest elephants, gorillas and other species are roaming freely. Tens of elephants come daily for the minerals and they are active even during the night.

One of the great places in the world to see hundreds of forest elephants. Other mammals visiting the Bai includes the Sitatunga, Forest Buffaloes, Giant Forest Hogs and the Bongo. Birds frequently seen are the Hartlaubs Duck, African Grey Parrot, Forbes Plover and many more. There is a nice elevated platform hide. Excellent for photography.

Sumptuous! Stay in January 2017, the many jungle elephants (around 75 that day) and, close to this place, one of the rare places on the planet where you can see gorillas (including the silverback) all in their natural environment.
