Republic of the Congo · Africa & Middle East
Brazzaville & the Congo River
A capital facing its namesake across the river, the second-largest in the world by flow, lowland gorillas in a national park most safari-goers have never considered, and a rainforest interior that still holds genuine blank spots on the map.
The best time to visit Brazzaville & the Congo River is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (86°F).
