Ngaga

Renowned for its captivating Lowland Gorilla trekking experiences, Ngaga stands as a
remarkable destination situated beyond the boundaries of Odzala National Park.
Nestled upon a hill, Ngaga Lodge is overlooking a small river and its riverine vegetation.
Encircled by a sea of Marantaceae forest and towering trees, the entire
concession boasts an intricate network of well-established trails, unveiling nice
views on the upper canopy. Ngaga serves as a haven for avian enthusiasts, as
numerous bird species, such as the often heard but rarely seen Black-collared
Lovebird and a myriad of others, can be easily spotted in the area. Elevated
rooms and cozy chalets, perched amidst trees, offer exceptional opportunities
for quiet birdwatching.

Here is a
collection of bird images captured in the vicinity of Ngaga.
