I traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo in December 2020/January 2021 to photograph some of the country’s spectacular plants and landscapes. I’m so happy I found Christian at Congo Local Guides, because he made turned this wild idea into a reality. From park permits, to government documents, to vehicle hires, he was incredibly knowledgeable at every step of the way. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we couldn’t have done this trip without him. The sites Christian took us to were breathtaking. We visited Upemba National Park and Kundelungu National Park, and were lucky enough to see some of the country’s only wild zebras at Upemba. We saw Kiubo Falls and stayed at the lodge, which shouldn’t be missed. Christian was impressively flexible- we wanted to wild-camp and he made it happen for us. While we went to see nature, the cultural side of DRC was just as incredible. This would have been missed if we didn’t have Christian, who is fluent in French, English, and local dialects. If you’re thinking about traveling anywhere in DRC, I can only recommend Congo Local Guides.
