The river is the main feature of the area, running through the rainforest and creating an unbelievable series of rapids and waterfalls. Bird lovers will enjoy the 430+ bird species that include African grey parrots. Gorillas, chimps, colobus, mandrill, mangebey, sitatunga, duikers, giant pangolin, bush pig, and more can all be spotted across this 3000 km² park. The elephants keep the area clean by digging to the rich saline soil which then attracts other large mammals to feast there.
