This region is home to a large population of endangered chimpanzees, the red colobus monkey (endangered), and the rare Lโ€™Hoestโ€™s monkey, making it an excellent location for chimpanzee trekking safaris.

The channel attracts various animals and birds, with one of the worldโ€™s largest concentration of hippos and numerous Nile crocodiles. At a lucky moment, some animals will be found drinking water, taking a bath, and or even hunting.
