Named after the world’s second largest river and its deepest, the Republic of Congo is a land of verdant and tropical rainforest punctuated by slivers of savannah. Its capital, Brazzaville, lies along the Congo River’s banks, while the largest rainforest on the globe after the Amazon can be found in this Central African country. This vast expanse of forest is home to the critically endangered western lowland gorilla in Odzala-Kokoua National Park - a recognised UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve.
