When people talk about the Congo, they usually mean the great Congo-Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Congo-Kinshasa is in the headlines far more often than its peaceful neighbour, Congo-Brazzaville, and usually not in a positive sense. Once you understand the massive size of Congo-Kinshasa, you realise that there must be much more in the country than corruption and unrest. Indeed, Congo-Kinshasa is an endless and untouched rainforest where the brave traveller will encounter bonobos, gorillas, forest elephants. The country is also a cultural traveller's dream, inhabited by more than 200 ethnic groups speaking over 200 languages. But perhaps the most interesting attraction is Africa's second longest river, the mythical Congo, which gives the country its name, meanders some 4,700 kilometres across the country before finally flowing into the Atlantic.
