Where can you meet the Ba-Aka?

We’ve taken offbeat explorations to another level with our new African rainforests fly-in safari into Dzanga-Ndoki National Park, in the rainforests of south-western Central African Republic. A total area of more than 4,000 km2 or 400,000 hectares. Highlights include tracking with the Ba-Aka pygmies, and seeing forest elephants.
