Zemongo Faunal Reserve

Zemongo Faunal Reserve is a large protected area in southeastern Central African Republic with varied landscapes. It contains flooded forests and extensive savannas with different woodland types and open grasslands.

The reserve was established in 1925 to protect wildlife and habitats. In 1975, it received new official recognition and underwent expansion.

The reserve serves as a research center for scientists studying Central African wildlife patterns and monitoring changes in local ecosystems.

Visitors should arrange transportation and local guides before arrival, as the location is remote and offers limited tourist infrastructure. The best time to visit is during drier months when roads and paths are most passable.

The Vovodo and Goangoa Rivers flow through the reserve, providing essential water for eastern chimpanzees and diverse antelope species. These waterways are why so many animal populations gather and thrive here.
