Okapi trekking
Okapi is a unique kind of antelope found in the Ituri forest of the Democratic republic of Congo. The okapi is the only known cousin of the giraffe, with a similar striped pattern on the hind and a deep purplish coat. There are over 5000 Okapis known to be present at the moment.
Okapis are mainly herbivores and feed on tree leaves and buds, grasses ferns and fruits. They are forest browsers eating 18 to 29 kilograms of leaves, twigs, and fruits each day . Okapis have prehensile tongue to get food by pulling leaves from trees and into their mouth. The tongue is also an important grooming tool, helping to keep the velvety soft, short coat in tip-top shape.
