Mondika is primarily a Western Lowland Gorilla Research Centre situated in the North of Republic of Congo close to Nouabale Ndoli National Park. It was established in 1995 by Professor Diane Doran to study Gorilla behaviour. However in November 2005 in collaboration with WCS the camp also opened to tourism. The Gorillas of Mondika now offer the unrivalled opportunity for the intrepid traveller to follow and watch wild Gorillas in their natural habitat.
