Located in the heart of Central Africa, the CAR is full of hidden gems to discover. Between forests, wildlife, and monuments you will not be disappointed. Come on for a ride to go around the country!
Boali Falls
A magical and impressive place where the M’Bari river empties from 50m high and 250m wide. Located 2 hours away from Bangui, it is one of the most prominent attractions of the country. Once on top of the falls, you can descend via stairs dug through rocks, needless to say that some bathe there but it is not necessarily recommended. The adventure does not stop here, just 15km away we invite you to make a stop at the crocodiles lake. If you need a breath of fresh air, this is the ideal place. You can stay at the Boali resort in order to fully enjoy.
Manovo-Gounda St. Floris National Park
This huge national park is located in the north of the country. It extends over 17,400km2 or half of Belgium, we can easily say that it cannot be visited in a day. This is one of the richest reserves of the continent by its fauna and flora. It includes numerous and varied species of mammals (about 57): black rhinoceroses, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, various species of birds. This site is registered as a UNESCO world heritage site since 1988. Three waterways blend here, the Monovo the Koumbala and the Gounda. A rare place, in the wild, as natural as the first day, although threatened by poachers
