Book Flights to the Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a brilliant spot to see the untamed wilderness of Africa.

If spotting rare wildlife takes your fancy, then venture deep into Virunga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Track chimpanzees swinging through the dense canopy, or witness the heartwarming family life of endangered mountain gorillas. This park is also home to active volcanoes, including Mount Nyiragongo, where you can trek to the rim and peer into the molten lava lake that bubbles and smoulders within.

The DRC offers more than just stunning landscapes though - it houses some of Africa's most diverse and collaborative cultures. Learn the traditional art of palm weaving from a local village or attend a mesmerizing dance ceremony, where colourful costumes and rhythmic drumming reimagine what it means to celebrate dance and music.
