Tourist Attractions & Monuments Congo Brazzaville

The Republic of Congo's coastline is home to year-round populations of leatherback, olive ridley, green and hawksbill sea turtles. Its beaches are ideal for egg-laying by these endangered animals, and some sites offer feeding and nursery areas. The Rénatura Congo association monitors and protects turtles at sea and on land. It has integrated a "responsible tourism" component into its activities, to enable visitors to discover its actions, but also to finance projects aimed at local communities.

Why not a citytrip of one day or we, in the other Congo, whose capital is only 15 minutes from Kinshasa? Welcome to Brazza, the twin daughter of the Kin girl of the river, who sits proudly on the other side of Pool Kin. The two'closest'capitals in the world are still quite different, and they are also quite different to take a tour and take a little look. Brazzaville is much more cool and quiet than the hectic Kinshasa… Change of mood. Although the African capital and languages (French and lingala) are similar overall, the French touch in addition. To get there, some steps to make: obtain a visa (+/- easy and fast as appropriate), pay customs taxes and go to Beach Ngobila to take a barge or canoe and carry out the crossing. The ideal is to be accompanied by someone who knows the procedure or better: go through a specialized intermediary to save time and probably end up with the money. City travel agencies can help you with this. But the specialist of the moment is the Hotel Leo in the city centre (opposite the Sozacom building) which offers a complete service with private features. This will avoid the bureaucratic and matabish enlarge. The other popular destination of the neighbouring Congo, but for a minimum of days, is the Black Pointe resort, accessible by plane.

Founded in 1952, the Brazza Zoo was one of the most important in Africa, but the wars of the 1990 s, during which most animals were sacrificed to feed the population, and the growing urbanization of the capital, gradually watered down its land, reduced it to a sad state of mouroir for less than ten animals. Some great apes have long been transferred to quieter areas, such as the famous chimpanzee Grégoire, resident of the zoo from 1997 to 1944, which was transported to the helicopter to the Tchimpounga reserve in the Bay where he sank last quiet days.
