THE LODGE
On a riverbank, far, far away
Simple luxuries and warm hospitality
Designed to blend in with the dense riverine forest that runs down to the Sangha River, it would be easy to miss Sangha Lodge. Over the years since it opened in 2009 the lodge has undergone some changes, the most recent of which have seen its bungalows refurbished and some new additions to its central, common areas.
Offering a wonderful blend of rustic camp charm and the full service of a traditional safari lodge, the accent is on authenticity and natural luxury with the added benefit of "mod cons" like hot and cold running water, electricity and flushing toilets! Remote most definitely does not mean roughing it!
Renowned for its warm hospitality and unsurpassable wilderness location in the heart of Africa, Sangha Lodge is a safari icon and a demonstration of sustainable tourism in action, making a lasting difference to the conservation of eco-systems and the welfare of the local Ba'aka people.

Lodge location
Views of forever...
On a lazy bend in the serpentine Sangha River, a major tributary of the mighty Congo that's just short of 800km long, Sangha Lodge enjoys fabulous, elevated views of the river and an ideal location within its own 72,000ha concession on the border of the Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve.
It's one of the most remote lodges in Africa and a pioneering spirit is pre-requisite for those interested in travelling here, together with a willingness for complete immersion into an entirely different kind of safari experience where wild takes on new meaning!

Lodge facilities
Kick back and relax
Our communal lounge, well-stocked bar and dining areas all have impressive views out over the Sangha River and access to our multi-tiered decks where breakfast and lunch can be enjoyed al fresco and sundowner cocktails are served before dinner.
Meals are included in the lodge rate and feature simple, taste-filled, home-style dishes that take their inspiration from both West African and wider African cuisine, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients where possible.
When you're out for the day exploring the rainforest and Dzanga Bai, we pack a picnic lunch for you to enjoy en-route and lots of bottled water, which is included in the lodge rate. Filtered water is always readily available and coffee is "on tap" all day!
