The national park is split into two non-continuous sectors, the northern Dzanga sector (or Dzanga Park) 49,500 ha (122,000 acres) and the southern Ndoki sector (or Ndoki Park) 72,500 ha (179,000 acres). It is bordered by Cameroon to the west, Chad to the north, Sudan to the east and the Congos to the south, this former French colony's most accessible wildlife is within the southwestern expanse of rainforest within Dzanga-Sangha National Park, located near the border with Cameroon and the Congos.
Notable in the Dzanga sector is one of the highest gorilla densities of 1.6 kilometers squared, ever reported for the western lowland gorillas.

As part of the Sangha Tri National Park, it was established in 1990 covering 6,865 miles of virgin forest.
