Access is limited to flying in and boat travel and accommodations are very basic.
I had little time for extensive birding. I visited an area called Igu la in the south of the country. I flew in to a place called Ombou and was met at the airport by a fisherman friend who has a camp at Igu la. A two hour drive on an old Landrover through forest and savanna mosaic found us at his camp on the shores of a huge lagoon. We traveled for about 90 minutes up the lagoon at speed, as I wanted to get into the river systems.
