Worth knowing about the Republic of Congo
Exciting information about your trip to the Republic of Congo
Location
Western Central Africa once again hides a fascinating landscape: The Republic of Congo is characterized by the Congo Basin, which extends from its main area in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the border in the far west into the Republic of the Congo. There, the Congo River of the same name - the second-longest river in Africa after the Nile - virtually forms the border to the neighboring state over a length of 600 kilometers. Since about a quarter of the world's tropical rainforests are located in this basin, the Republic of Congo is also enriched by a distinctive flora. The country extends over 342,000 square kilometers, which is roughly the area of Germany, and is surrounded by Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the South Atlantic Ocean and Gabon.
Climate and best time to travel
The tropical climate in the Republic of the Congo generates high temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius on average throughout the year. The north and the equator are also characterized by two rainy seasons, which take place between January and May and October and December. The rainy seasons in the south of the country, on the other hand, are shorter.
Flora and Fauna
A characteristic of the rainforests in this area is the tiered structure. The individual tree trunks have different plant species and thus support the diversity of species. For example, teak, limba and mahogany woody plants, strangler plants and lianas can be found here. The highest floor is at a height of 30 to 45 meters, while the tallest tree reaches 60 meters. The rainforest is also home to diverse animal species: from various species of monkeys (including the Western lowland gorillas), forest elephants and countless species of insects and birds, there are plenty of animal inhabitants to discover here. The further you go into the west of the Republic of Congo, the more wet savannahs with grasses you will encounter. These areas are filled with the wildlife of steppe elephants, leopards, cheetahs, antelopes and jackals. Finally, on the coast, a landscape full of mangrove forests stretches out.
The capital Brazzaville
The capital Brazzaville is located in the southeast of the Republic of Congo and has an area of 100 square kilometres. About 1.83 million inhabitants live in this place. Characteristics are the colonial and Bauhaus-style buildings, which are a legacy of the former French colony. Markets with traditionally produced goods, as well as music festivals, give an insight into the Culture of the country.
