Congo is a fascinating country to explore if you have already ticked off your bucket list, the grand safaris and savannahs of Africa and want to experience a new, dramatic landscape engulfed by waterfalls, mountains, lush greenery, lagoons and spectacular scenery and wildlife. Located in central Africa, the Republic of Congo is a peaceful former French colony. The core of the nation, also referred to as Congo-Brazzaville, is home to the second-largest tropical rainforest in Africa. Three habituated groups of Western lowland gorillas can be found in a five square mile area of the Odzala National Park, which is home to a diverse range of plants and wildlife.
During your travels experience local culture and mouth-watering flavours, such as the traditional meal Poulet a la Moambe, which combines rice and spinach with chicken fried in palm oil. Red meat enthusiasts can devour the beef with sauce, which is cooked in peanut and palm oil and flavour-coated with onions, garlic, and fresh tomato spices. Fufu, a common accoutrement, is a type of puree made by combining flour with hot water.
An adventure in Congo will surely captivate with its impressive vistas, volcanoes and natural beauty.
