The Okapi Wildlife Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Congo, is a dense rainforest sanctuary protecting the elusive okapi, a zebra-like giraffe relative. Spanning vast jungles, it also shelters rare primates, leopards, and vibrant birdlife. This biodiverse haven highlights the richness and fragility of Central Africa’s ecosystems.
