Places To Visit In Democratic Republic Of The Congo

Located in Central Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country troubled

by its history of war and violence that somehow severely affected its cost-effective and social position currently. This large African country, despite having a history of struggles, is a minefield of natural beauty and amazing adventure that can just be experienced when one is willing to look past the population's poverty and the country's brutal history.

Tourists who go to the capital can visit several of the prehistoric and ethnological museums that can be located at the Kinshasa University. Although, this is not to state that you will not make merry taking in the sights that the Democratic Republic of the Congo can put forward. The National Museum is also a great stop for tourists who are interested in the arts history of the country.

As Africa is famed for its majestic wildlife reserve, it's a must to travel to the Upemba National Park which incorporates several rivers that are home to hippos and crocodiles. Another wildlife reserve that might be included in a traveler's itinerary is the Virunga National Park. This sprawling 12,000 square kilometer reserve is boxed in by two mountain ranges that naturally serves as an enclosure for the numerous animals that live and thrive in the area. Here, lions, elephants, buffaloes, antelopes and even aquatic birds roam freely.

Although the country is nearly assiocated with the heat and dry spell, awesome waterfalls can be found in the southern component of the country such as the Kiobo and Lofol waterfalls.

The Republic of the Congo may have quite some distance to go before it moves into true economic and tourism progress. But nonetheless, traveling to this country is a valuable, moving experience even without all the luxury and fanciness of a dream vacation.
