4-Day Le Petit Ngila (Monday, Wednesday and Friday)
4-Day Le Petit Ngila, Ngila & New Packages Ngila is online to open in the beginning of June. One could call it a tented camp, but we would like to think it is much more than that. The main building is thatched with large windows and doors to maintain the warmth provided by two roaring fires to cosy up to and enjoy delicious food cooked by our Congolese chefs. The tents are on raised wooden decks with sweeping views of the volcanos around, which can also be enjoyed from each tent’s bath.

Best of 4-Day Le Petit Ngila
We believe in value for money. Every guest would like to have the most reliable and comfortable vehicles on safari. In response to the clients’ needs, we have a very strict vehicle replacement policy that ensures a young fleet at all times. We have a total fleet of 225 well-maintained motor vehicles, predominantly 4-wheel drives. This does away with the problem of sub-contracting vehicles and driver-guides, which may compromise the quality of services. Our safari vehicles are specifically converted for maximum space and comfort. All of them have hatched roof and sliding windows to facilitate good viewing and convenient photography during game drives and sight seeing.
