Must-see Attractions in DR Congo

DR Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo or DRC) is the second-largest country in Africa, located in Central Africa, with an area of about 2.3 million square kilometers. The capital is Kinshasa, which is also the largest city.

The population is around 112 million, making it the most populous Francophone country in the world. The official language is French, and there are four national languages: Kituba, Lingala, Swahili, and Tshiluba, along with many local dialects.

The DRC is notable for vast rainforests, the Congo River (one of the world's largest rivers), mountains, and rich mineral resources. Despite this wealth, much of the population faces challenges due to conflict, poverty, and political instability.
