The Congo is synonymous in most people’s imagination with exploration, deepest jungle and an escape from the Western world.  This new Bradt guide will be the first full guidebook to publish new information on both the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the People’s Republic of Congo (PRC) in well over a decade.  It will appeal to travelers who are seeking to explore a new region of Africa emerging from many years of conflict, a region that is changing rapidly as stability returns to the region.

Natural history is given due prominence in this guide, the Congo possessing a high percentage of Africa’s remaining, intact rainforest.
