Democratic Republic of Congo Safari Trips & Tours
Democratic Republic of Congo
Africa’s second-largest country and bordered by no fewer than nine nations, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the beautiful, mesmeric, enthralling heart of the continent. Its turbulent history, from the bloody reign of Belgium's King Leopold to Mobuto Sese Seko’s military dictatorship, is no secret, but for now the country is enjoying a period of relative stability, with tourism providing a much-needed beacon of hope. And that's really good news, as this is a place that truly is worth discovering. With steaming jungles sheltering mountain gorillas, crystal-clear lakes amid smoking volcanoes and urban-cool cities with the continent’s best music scene, a DRC holiday is not to be taken lightly. But, boy, it’s one that you'll never forget.
The DRC is mysterious and complicated, unexplored and diverse, and has a spirit of adventure that will put even the most adventurous traveller through their paces – and that’s definitely why it's one of our favourite destinations.
Hike to the summit of Nyiragongo Volcano and spend a night on the rim, looking down into the world’s most active lava lake – and dine out on the story for the rest of your life!
DRC is not without its problems and (we won’t beat around the bush) it’s a complex area to travel in. But if you’re organised, plan well and don’t leave anything to chance, the country can be more rewarding than almost any other on the continent.
