Experience the Congo: what to see, what to do

Almost the entire country of the Republic of the Congo is covered in dense rain forest which is home to the country’s famous gorillas. The only inhabited part of the country is the south, from Brazzaville to Pointe Noire.

Essentials in the Congo

Brazzaville: This city is a great place to stopover if you’re headed for the Congolese rain forests. It took a major hit when the civil war hit in 1997 but is now, steadily, getting back on its feet.

Lefini Reserve: If it’s a safari you’re after, this is the country’s most popular reserve. It’s located in the north, bordering Lesio-Louna.

Odzala National Park: This is the country’s most popular park in the Cuvette-Ouest region and founded in 1935. Forest elephants and gorillas are the big attractions as well as giant forest hogs and forest buffalo.

Accommodation in the Congo

Hotels are more expensive in the Congo than you’d expect, particularly if you’re looking for rooms that meet Western standards. Brazzaville and Pointe Noire have the most variety for hotels in the Congo.
