Beyond the plains of the Serengeti, the hillsides of Virunga or the shorelines of the Cape, Congo offers a whole new realm of African discovery. One for the intrepid and the adventurous, this is a place best explored wading through jungles bais, fly-camping beneath the stars and kayaking down remote rivers. On a tailormade holiday in Congo, experience nature as it was intended; raw and untouched.
Start Planning
For great stretches of the Congo river, which surges, spills, and winds its way across this Central African nation, the reeds become so thick that the river effectively disappears. Such things only add to the peculiar beauty of Congo, a country which boasts half the world’s lowland gorillas, swathes of balmy rainforest, and a decidedly laidback capital in Brazzaville. Answer the call of the wild. You won’t regret it.
TO BRAZZAVILLE AND BEYOND
If you stay in the 1880-founded city of Brazzaville (named after its Italo-French founder), you’ll experience a gentle slice of laidback West African comfort. You can also take in the venerable sight of the Nabemba Tower, which rises over the city in gold-grey – an outcome of the then Marxist government’s spatial policies during the 1980s. For those heading out into the wilds (that’ll be most of you), some of the continent’s best safari awaits – not least the simply huge community of lowland gorillas in the country. Let us sort you out a private tour and you can see for yourself.
