Visit to Brazzaville Museum and Memorial dedicated to Count de Brazza

This visit will provide an opportunity to learn about the 19th century history of Brazzaville, which was founded by the Italian-born Count de Brazza for France and established French sovereignty over much of western Central Africa. The museum and memorial dedicated to him showcases his remains, as well as those of his wife and children, to commemorate its opening. The visit to the museum is a great way to learn about the city’s history, the character of Count de Brazza and the respect he still holds among the locals. It’s recommended to read Maria Petringa’s book « Brazza, A Life For Africa » before visiting Congo-Brazzaville as it provides a fascinating insight into French colonial times and is the only biography of de Brazza in English.

Gorilla Safari in Lésio-Luna

The Gorilla Safari in Lésio-Luna is the highlight of the itinerary and provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to see gorillas in their natural habitat. The Lésio-Luna Gorilla Sanctuary is home to more than 55 gorillas, split into families/quarters, under the guardianship of the local community and the support of NGOs and the Congolese government. Visitors will have a chance to visit the sanctuary and see the gorillas in the morning, and then take a pirogue ride on the Blue Lake, where they may spot other animals such as monkeys, antelopes, and hippopotamus, as well as various species of birds. The park is located about 3.5 hours from Brazzaville and is most accessible during the dry season. This will be a unique and unforgettable experience for all visitors.
