Republic of Congo
Venture deep into the Congo Basin on one of our transformative Republic of Congo adventures, where dense rainforests shelter elusive species and ancient ecosystems thrive.
VISIT The Republic of Congo
The Republic of Congo boasts a breathtaking tapestry of landscapes ranging from dense rainforests to expansive savannahs.
Home to the iconic Congo River, it holds the title of Africa’s second-largest country and shelters a remarkable array of wildlife, including endangered mountain gorillas in Virunga National Park, the eastern-lowland gorilla in Kahuzi Biega National Park, and the critically endangered northern-white rhino (of which less than 30 remain in the wild) in Garamba National Park.
Despite challenges, community-based conservation initiatives are gaining momentum, engaging local populations in sustainable practices and fostering coexistence with wildlife.
Discover the delicate balance of preserving natural wonders and uplifting communities in the company of award-winning community conservationists, Pole Pole Foundation.
