About DR Congo:

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is Africa's second largest country and one of its most biodiverse. This vast nation contains nearly 60% of the Congo Basin rainforest - the world's second largest after the Amazon. From the active volcanoes of Virunga National Park to the mighty Congo River and Okapi Wildlife Reserve, the DRC offers adventurous travelers unparalleled natural wonders. It's home to endangered mountain gorillas, okapi, bonobos, and forest elephants in landscapes ranging from dense jungle to alpine meadows.

Why Choose DR Congo?

The DRC offers some of Africa's most spectacular and least-visited natural attractions. For adventurous travelers willing to step off the beaten path, the rewards are immense - from standing on the rim of an active volcano's lava lake to coming face-to-face with endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. The country's vast rainforests play a crucial role in global climate regulation and harbor incredible biodiversity found nowhere else.

Beyond wildlife, the DRC's vibrant music scene, particularly Congolese rumba, and the cultural richness of its many ethnic groups make it a fascinating destination. The mighty Congo River, Africa's second longest, offers epic expedition possibilities through the heart of the continent.

  • Home to 60% of Africa's remaining rainforest

  • One of only three countries with wild mountain gorillas

  • Nyiragongo's lava lake - one of only a few in the world

  • Rich cultural heritage with over 200 ethnic groups
