Congo Safaris | Where to Go for Congo Safaris Tour? – Virunga National Park

Congo Safaris is not very popular with tourists because of the security situation in DR Congo. However, the country has great tourism potential and the people of Congo are welcoming and friendly to visitors. Congo has some of the world’s most beautiful national parks teeming with wild plant and animal species. Acacia Safaris organizes Congo safaris. It has already experienced a long period of instability due to factional uprising, corruption, and poor governance structures. Be careful when visiting parts of Congo where the largest UN peacekeeping missions take place. But we cannot afford to generalize about the security situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
