Then, next, Bian Xiao will give you a good introduction to the golden tourist attractions in Congo!

Salonga National Park, 1

Salonga National Park, located in Zaire Nature Reserve, is located in the central plains of Africa, with an area of 36,000 square kilometers. 200-500 meters above sea level. It belongs to the tropical rain forest area. 1970 established to protect the equatorial forest environment, it is one of the largest forest parks in the world.

It is divided into north and south parts, and the management office is located in Monkoto. There are many kinds of animals and plants in the territory, and bonobo is a specialty. Most areas of Salonga National Park are covered by equatorial forests, and the vegetation composition will change with different topography. Forests mainly grow in swamps, rivers and dry land.

Almost all semi-deciduous forests grow on the land between rivers, while some early-growing or short-growing plants grow on the river banks. The northern area is dense grassland (not sparse grassland), accounting for 0.5% of the total area of the park. At present, there is little research on the vegetation composition of Salonga National Park.

So far, the composition of animals in the park has not been systematically investigated, but it is certain that there are most species of forest animals here. Among the animals reported in Salonga National Park, the African ape is a famous "human".

It is a unique animal in Zaire, but now it has disappeared in the north of the park. It is reported that there may be some in the south.

2. Okapi Deer Wildlife Reserve

The Okapi Deer Wildlife Sanctuary occupies one-fifth of the forests in Ituri, northeastern Congo and China. The nature reserve and its forest are part of the Zaire River Basin, which is one of the largest water systems in Africa and has made a lot of important discoveries in species evolution.

There are 302 species of trees and 30 species of lianas/kloc-0 in the nature reserve.

There are 52 species of mammals living in the okapi deer wildlife reserve, including okapi deer. It is estimated that there are about 30,000 wild okapi in the world, and about 5,000 live in nature reserves. There are almost more than 6,700 African elephants in the reserve.

Other animals include musk deer, African golden cat, leopard, baboon, river pig, forest pig, gazelle, giant pangolin and forest fragrant cat.

There are 0/3 species of primates/kloc-found in nature reserves, which is the largest number of primates found in African forests so far, including red colobus monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, white-bellied long-tailed monkeys, mangabey, African apes and so on.

Among butterflies, the most striking species is the large African Papilio. At present, there are 329 species of birds in Okapi Deer Wildlife Sanctuary, such as spotted ibis, olive ibis, long-tailed eagle, partridge and black pearl.

3.garamba national park

Garamba National Park is located on the watershed of Nile and Zaire rivers, with an altitude of 7 10- 106 1 m, covering an area of 492,000 hectares and surrounded by three large hunting areas.

There are vast tropical sparse trunk grasslands, large grasslands and forest areas in the park, and towering trees are dotted on the river banks and swamp lowlands.

There are usually Curcuma plants, Elaeagnus Elaeagnus trees, striking Bauhinia, Arabic gum, Acacia and Erythrina in the forest land of sparse grassland.

These plants have a wide range of uses, some can be used as medicine, some are valuable ornamental plants, some can weave ropes, mats and baskets, some are excellent building materials, and some can be used as firewood. There are four kinds of large mammals raised here: elephants, giraffes, hippos and rare white rhinos.

Walking into Garamba National Park, the small bridge across the river, the increasingly extensive road network, the continuous improvement of accommodation facilities and the vivid and detailed description of the park have left a long and beautiful memory in people's hearts, and the "elephant riding" service developed by the park is even more ingenious.

About 20,000 hippos live in the riverside area around here, which is a paradise for mountain gorillas, and birds flying from Siberia spend the winter here.

Various ecological environments have created a rich and colorful plant world. There are green bamboo forests on the mountain, and white thatch, Pennisetum, Arabic gum and windmills grow on the sparse grassland.

In other areas, there are Hypericum plants, Podocarpus, heather shrubs and giant Leymus plants. At an altitude of more than 4300 meters, the vegetation is sparse, mainly some mosses, lichens and seed plants.

Mammals on savanna include African elephant, hippopotamus, African buffalo, African antelope, wildebeest, African buffalo antelope, warthog, lion and various monkeys. There are countless gannets in the lower reaches of the river, and the alpine valley is home to gorillas, African apes and Hogapi.

7. Ubangi R.

Ubangi River is the largest tributary on the right bank of Congo River in Africa, and it is also the boundary river between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Congolese people. Near Yakoma, at the junction of the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it is formed by the confluence of the Bom River and the Yule River, and flows about 560 kilometers westward.

The total length of Ubangi-Weilai River is about 2,250km, and the average discharge of Bangui is 4,280 m3/s, which can reach more than14,000m3/s in the flood season from May to June, and decreases to 1000 m3/s in the dry season from February to April.

Ubangi River has rapids in Bangui and other places. After flowing into the Congo basin, the river channel becomes wider, and the river channel is turned into a tributary by the sandbar in the middle of the river. The area between sandbar and Ubangi River at 16 E is covered with dense equatorial rainforest, and large areas in the northeast and southwest of Sangha River are often flooded.

Ubangi River joins Congo River in Irebu0 village. Every year from the end of April to the end of June, the rise of the Congo River forces the Ubangi River to flow backward, and at this time, 600-ton barges can sail to Bangui.

8. Congo Basin

Congo basin is the largest basin in Africa and the largest basin in the world, also known as Zaire basin. It is located in central and western Africa, with the equator passing through the middle, and it is square, covering an area of about 3.37 million square kilometers.
