Introducing Congo
Travel Alert: Parts of Congo remain unsafe for travel, particularly in the Pool region, along the Ubangi River border with the Democratic Republic of Congo and on the road and rail routes between Brazzaville and Point Noire. Check Safe Travel for current government warnings.
Often confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaïre), on the opposite side of the Congo River, Congo (which is officially known as the Republic of Congo and also sometimes called Congo-Brazzaville) offers a friendlier and altogether less threatening version of its sprawling neighbour.
