Sangha Trinational

Sangha Trinational is a protected area spanning parts of the Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, and Cameroon, covering dense rainforest with rivers and wetlands. The landscape includes varied terrain from lowland forest to riverine areas where water shapes the environment.

The protected area was established in 1990 through cooperation between three countries to conserve a shared natural region. It represents an early example of nations working together across borders for forest protection.

Local communities depend on the forest for food, medicine, and materials, using knowledge passed down through generations to understand and use plant and animal resources. You can see how people live alongside the forest rather than separate from it.

Access requires official permits and trained guides who know the terrain and can ensure safety in remote forest areas. Arrange your visit through park authorities rather than independently, as they handle logistics and provide necessary support.

Forest elephants travel through this region following migration routes that cross national borders and have existed for countless generations. This is one of the last large-scale elephant movements remaining in Africa.
