About Maiko National Park
This massive 10,400 kmpark is about halfway betweenBukavuat theRwandanborder, andKisangani. The park has not been developed for visitors—there are no airstrips, no lodges, and no amenities to speak of. There is just one 4x4 track leading from Bafwasende to some small villages within the park. The park is located in an undeveloped section of the DRC and is home to many primitive tribes along with rebels, who have made their home in the park at the end of past conflicts. The people within the park practice subsistence hunting, which doesn't bode well for the park's wildlife, which is facing significant pressure. The park is managed by the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) which, despite the absence of rangers and facilities, is responsible for entry permits. ICCN ha
