Essence
With one of the most spectacular settings of any lodge in Africa, Lango places you at the secluded heart of the Congolese rainforest. Suspended above a bay where elephants, buffalo, and other wildlife come to bathe, feed, and socialize, the lodge offers arresting views and unparalleled access to a pristine ecosystem. Time here is about getting in touch with the pristine landscape — and also getting wet and a little muddy.
