Congo

Sights in Congo

  1. Odzala National Park

    Visitors have reported seeing hundreds of lowland gorillas, monkeys and even elephants in Odzala. The park has five camps with eating facilities and trips can be arranged for a maximum of four people. With long days and plenty of hiking, you will need to be in good physical shape. Due to the security situation in Congo access is often made through Gabon.

    Check the situation at ECOFAC in Brazzaville, where you can also book all-inclusive tours.

  2. Pointe-Noire Beach

    The beautiful, safe beach and vibrancy of the town's bars and restaurants are Pointe-Noir's main drawcard. The beach is a short walk from the main drag where windsurfing, hang-gliding, surf-casting and deep sea fishing are popular among the predominantly expatriate petroleum industry community. Restaurants along the beach offer super-fresh Congalese-style seafood.

  3. Marche Total

    Brazzaville's markets are its main attraction and provide an assault of local colour. At Marche Total, hawkers display popular foods such as fresh peanut butter, caterpillars, guinea pigs, bats and the ubiquitous manioc or cassava. You can trawl the stalls for everything from palm wine to Congolese fabrics and aphrodisiac charms.
