Africa Adventure

The Republic of Congo is often confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo when in fact it is situated on the opposite side of the Congo River. Even though it is still not entirely safe, the Republic of Congo is a less threatening and all together friendlier version of its violent neighbour. The Congo is becoming increasingly popular amongst travelers with its forest elephants, buffaloes, lowland gorillas, wild chimpanzees, sitatunga, bongo antelopes, giant forest hogs, leopards, endemic birds, dense rainforest, impenetrable jungle, and untouched beaches. It is, however, not for everyone.

If you are looking for a journey that will include a constant adrenalin rush, then the Congo is perfect. It is certainly not for those who enjoy sitting back with a cold beer in five star accommodation. If you are going to the Congo, then prepare yourself for spending lots of time with the locals, trying out new foods, and many bumpy jeep rides on the muddy roads.
