The Democratic Republic of the Congo, also known as Congo-Kinshasa and formerly known as Zaire, is a country in Central Africa. By land area, the Congo is the second-largest country in Africa and the 11th-largest in the world. A mosaic of rivers, forests, savannas, swamps and flooded forests, the Congo Basin is teeming with life. Congo’s tourism is mainly centered around gorilla tracking in Virunga National Park which is renowned for being the first national park in Africa and home to up to 351 individual mountain & lowland gorillas.

A safari in Congo not only offers you the chance to track gorillas in Virunga or Kahuzi-Biega parks but also meet pygmies, spot bonobos & okapi – two rare species only found in Congo plus a chance to climb to the summit of the Nyiragongo volcano. You can also tour Kinshasa’s Ivory market where you can pick up some Congolese art & crafts, tribal masks and other souvenirs to take back home. 

Are planning a Congo safari adventure this season, we will be more than delighted to organize a self-drive or driver-guided tour to Virunga National Park, Mount Nyiragongo or a trip around Kinshasa at very affordable rates that suit your budget and needs.
