Overview

Democratic Republic of Congo

It used to be called Belgian Congo, then Zaire, and now it's the Democratic Republic of Congo and Africa's third largest country. The territory is crossed by Africa's second largest river, the Congo, which acts as the country's backbone. Its land is covered in varied types of landscape: from mountain ridges in the west to lakes and volcanoes in the east. Since the equator runs across the country, everyone will be able to find the climate that suits them, whether it be equatorial or tropical.

pros

  •  The landscape is very varied.
  •  The richness and variety of the handicraft.

cons

  •  Safety is not guaranteed outside of the towns.
  •  The civil war is still going on despite the fact that agreements were signed in 1999.
