Republic of Congo

The Republic of the Congo also known as Congo-Brazzaville is a country located on the western coast of Central Africa. It is bordered by Gabon to its west; Cameroon to its northwest and the Central African Republic to its northeast; DR Congo to the southeast and Angola.

The capital, Brazzaville is located on the Congo River, in the south of the country, immediately across from Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The southwest of the country is a coastal plain for which the primary drainage is the Kouilou-Niari River; the interior of the country consists of a central plateau between two basins to the south and north. Forests are under increasing exploitation pressure.

Transportation in the Republic of congo

Transport in the Republic of the Congo includes land, air, and water transportation. The country’s rail system was built by forced laborers during the 1930s and largely remains in operation. There are also over 1000 km of paved roads and two major international airports (Maya-Maya Airport and Pointe-Noire Airport) which have flights to destinations in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The country also has a large port on the Atlantic Ocean at Pointe-Noire and others along the Congo River at Brazzaville and Impfondo.

Cultural Heritage

The Republic of the Congo has a wide variety of natural landscapes, stretching from the savannah plains in the North Niari flooded forests, to the vast Congo River, to rugged mountains and forest of Mayombe, and including 170 km of beaches along the Atlantic coast.

The numerous ethnic groups and various political structures signal an enormous amount of population diversity as well as forms of artistic expression. Vili Nail fetishes, Bembe statuettes which are expressive despite their small size, the masks of the Punu and Kwele, Kota reliquaries, Teke fetishes, cemeteries with monumental tombs, and the Lari country are all such features.

Heritage tourism remains a very marginal resource in the Congo because reception facilities based out of Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville lack a sufficient and consistent communications network. Many sites are difficult to visit but, paradoxically, some of the South’s most populous and developed locations are often the least accessible. For example, the massive Chaillu Mountains are almost impossible to visit.

Transportation in DR congo

Ground transport in the Democratic Republic of Congo has always been difficult. The terrain and climate of the Congo Basin present serious barriers to road and rail construction, and the distances are enormous across this vast country. The DRC has more navigable rivers and moves more passengers and goods by boat and ferry than any other country in Africa, but air transport remains the only effective means of moving goods and people between many places within the country, especially in rural areas.  Car Rental Congo is the latest car hire company that offers transportation to travelers within the country.

Culture

The culture of the Democratic Republic of the Congo reflects the diversity of its hundreds of ethnic groups and their different ways of life throughout the country — from the mouth of the River Congo on the coast, upriver through the rain forest and savanna in its center, to the more densely populated mountains in the far east.
