Gangala-na-Bodio (French: Centre de domestication des éléphants de Gangala-na-Bodio) was a colonial-era elephant-domestication station located in Gangala-na-Bodio, near Faradje in present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Belgian project at Kira Vunga, Api and Gangala was the first attempt to domesticate African elephants for work. Pierre Offerman was instrumental in setting up the station.[2]
