About CTT

Congo Travel and Tours

We provide real, guided, safe, comfortable, and amazing Africa holidays in Congo. From voyaging on the Congo River, to spectacular and original Congo Safaris, to gorilla tours, travel to the Congo rainforest and see animals, tribes, and culture. Receive better options with realistic pricing and programs from experienced experts with more direct experience than anyone on the internet or since the 60’s, or on the ground in RoC and DRC. The New York Times named our rarified and remote destinations and parks some of the, “Best places to visit in the world.” This is real and exhilarating Africa, and its final frontier. This is the Africa that the rest of Africa cosplays as and pretends to be but hasn’t been for a century. Come see it with CTT.

Congo Tours – Animals, Adventure, Culture, River, and Rainforest Tours

Ride the infamous river into the “heart of darkness,”…see timeless native villages and forests as old as time…see mountain gorillas in the wild for far cheaper and in far more natural habitat than in Rwanda, Uganda or anywhere else in Africa…trek in the epic sprawling wilderness of Africa’s most untouched expanses…recount and step across the graveyard of rusting forgotten stories from “Africa’s World War” over the DRC…visit and support reserves and primate habitats for protecting Africa’s endangered wildlife…Trek in what the New York Time’s called the “best place to spot wildlife in Africa” but where real expeditions are still the way to move, and in the dark mysterious unpopulated zones where Michael Crichton aptly pointed out “African Exploration had become dominated by business. It has remained so to this day.” The middle of the Congo is the most expensive and difficult travel on earth, more than an Antarctic Cruise or world cruise, and many echelons in price and complexity of management and security provisions in planning than the top end safaris in traditional destinations in Eastern and Southern Africa in the conventional game reserves and national parks there.

We offer real, safety first, guided and comprehensive, original and unforgettable tours of Africa’s last great, and best frontier for tourism. The only real frontier for tourism left.

Considering Congo? Stop right here. Read:

Be very careful of American, European, and some African re-sellers who re-sell our tours and are on a blacklist of agents we do not work with. There’s a lot of disinformation and dishonesty among reseller agents, and you are advised to plan & read carefully. Ugandan and Rwandan online or freelance Kinshasa driver/netizen guides often wing it and and use AI or heresy for itineraries and pricing, simply lowballing and praying it works out. There are lots of reports of them owing money to tourists or simply no-showing and reappearing again. Or, feigning ignorance of an obstacle in the interior once the tour gets going and ask the client to finance its removal.

The Congo is grand, and open for you, but it is very very remote. It is among the real and out-of-the-media last wildest places on earth, and certainly in Africa.

You need to read the briefing room section and the terms and conditions. Don’t forget! This is not Africa. This is the Congo. This is not the 190 other countries you’ve visited prior to this on your adventure. This is the Congo, and not like there, nor does there prepare you for this part of the world.

You must listen and please examine your trip plans and align expectations according to reality, the rules, and instructions of the tour authority on this one. It isn’t like your trips and experiences exploring other places, or your deployments in war theaters in your youth, nor your management of adventure tour groups in conventional tour loop Africa Asia and Latin America. This is not going to be anything like your other trips.

Ready? Come on over to Africa’s Last Frontier!
