The Central African Republic (CAR) is a country of staggering rare natural beauty, with some of the world’s most amazing wildlife. The country has important mineral deposits and great natural resources, but has been plagued by instability internally and externally. For travelers, the great highlight is searching for gorillas and elephants in the Dzanga-Sangha National Park, in the little finger of land in the southeast corner of the country. Despite its political and economic troubles, the people of this historically exploited nation are open, friendly and generous.
