Democratic Republic of the Congo - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo due to crime and civil unrest. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa, is dominated by the vast, low-lying Congo River basin, covered in dense tropical rainforest and intersected by numerous waterways. This central basin is encircled by highlands to the east, south, and west, including the Ruwenzori Mountains and Virunga Mountains along the eastern border, known for their volcanic peaks and endangered mountain gorillas. The country also has a narrow coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, but the majority of its territory is landlocked.
