Nederlands4 days Congo Brazzaville
Welcome to our 4-day tour to Congo Brazzaville, where we will take you on a comprehensive journey through the rich cultural and historical sites of the country. Also known as the little brother of DR Congo; conveniently named: Congo! Congo Brazza (as it’s often called by locals) is sitting right next to DR Congo, the middle of Africa. The country was formerly occupied by the French, and has ever since still quite a French touch. During our tour we’ll explore the capital Brazzaville, with its famous sapeurs (today’s dandy’s) and we’ll visit the Lesio Luna Wildelife Park. Here we’ll try to spot the Silverback Gorillas.
