Expedition to Republic of Congo
Explore Within. Travel Beyond.
May 2 – May 14, 2026
This expedition is in partnership with Arctic Tern Expeditions.
Each expedition is an opportunity to witness conservation in action. We don’t just visit these areas—we engage with ongoing initiatives, learn about local conservation projects, and meet the people dedicating their lives to protecting these ecosystems. Our visits provide direct support to these projects, both financially and by amplifying their message. By bringing attention to these efforts, we help share their stories with the world, raising awareness and inspiring action.

Conservation Projects We Support in Congo:

One of Africa’s oldest national parks, Odzala stands apart as a hub of central African biodiversity. The old-growth rainforest harbors critically-endangered Western lowland gorillas and elusive forest elephants. The park is managed in conjunction with Congolese government by Africa Parks. Groundbreaking research into the genetics and community structure of gorillas in the park is funded through the Sabine Plattner African Charity (SPAC) – an organization dedicated to education and conservation.
Jane Goodall Institute:
The Jane Goodall Institute has it’s hub of central African conservation operations near the coastal city of Point Noire in southern Congo. For more than 30 years now, the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Centre has been home to 200+ chimpanzees who have been orphaned, malnourished, or injured by the illegal wildlife trade and deforestation.
