About Maiko

Maiko National Park is one of the most remote and pristine parks in DRC. The park protects important populations of eastern lowland gorillas, okapi, and Congo peafowl. It consists primarily of primary tropical forest and is one of the least visited national parks due to its inaccessibility.
