Democratic Republic of Congo possesses a wealth of scenic highlights, ethnic diversity, and a complex history. Inaccessible for many years due to conflict, the country once again draws adventurous and confident travelers looking for a different type of vacation. For those who can forego the usual home comforts and quickly adapt to challenging conditions, the rewards of a holiday in Democratic Republic of Congo are numerous - trekking through unspoiled forests, spotting endemic wildlife, and meeting welcoming, inspiring people.

Highlights

Climb Nyiragongo Volcano. Towering over the city of Goma, this spectacular natural wonder last erupted just eight years ago. Mind the lava lake at the top – it may be spectacular, but it’s also deadly
Track Gorillas. A momentous effort has been made to open up the Parc National des Virungas with its resident mountain gorillas. Tracking here is a rather wilder experience than across the border in Rwanda’s Parc National des Volcans and Uganda’s Impenetrable Forest: they have lodges! It’s hoped that gorilla tracking will provide a boost to international confidence in DRC and protect those gorillas that have survived years of human conflict
Cross the River. Packed to within an inch of its life, a public ferry wobbles across the water from Kinshasa to Brazzaville, giving you the chance to get another exotic passport stamp. Don't get stranded though: it stops running in the afternoon, never runs on Sundays, and sometimes just stops running at all
