Discover the Congo whilst on a group tour with Undiscovered Destinations

Discover
Congo (DRC)

Holiday in DRC? It’s not an obvious choice and certainly not Africa for beginners. In fact, this is Africa for the very experienced.

The turbulent, surging flow of the Congo reflects the country which currently shares its name. Indeed, the journey from Kinshasa, now a larger French-speaking city than Paris, to Kisangani must surely be the world’s most adventurous river cruise.

Of course, take a copy of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, read its record of 19th century brutal colonial exploitation, but day by day record your own experiences. Africa’s rivers all have stories, the Congo has inspired more than most.

Feedback from our Travellers

  • I have always had good experiences with UD & frequently recommend your trips to others. Congo river will be a lifelong memory. Your warnings & disclaimers helped to ground expectations. Product was delivered professionally & in a manner suited to local conditions. Without UD I would never have attempted such a trip so thank you!

  • The Congo river trip with Michel van Roten can only be possible with the benefit of his long experience, and it is clear that he is extraordinarily resourceful and resilient also. By African standards, I thought we did very well - far better than I had expected. I raised at the start of booking a query - given that I am diabetic - as to whether it would be possible to place insulin in refrigeration on the boat: I understand that a fridge was installed on the boat in response to that query, and Michel was very solicitous making sure all was OK. The Congo river was my third trip with UD (after Burkina Faso and Eritrea) and I have already recommended UD a number of times.

  • It was an amazing and unique trip. Spending a couple of weeks on the Congo River was an amazing experience that have stayed with me for a long time after. Visiting places where few tourists ever come, meeting the local people, getting the feel of the river, experiencing a very different culture, helpful and enjoyable crew, and a very experienced tour leader - it all made it more than worthwhile.
