Republic of the Congo

Jungle rivers pulse with primal life, June to September dries the equatorial wilds

The best time to visit the Republic of the Congo is between June and September, when dry days bring the Congo Basin’s wildlife and rivers into focus. With 25°C to 30°C weather, it’s perfect for tracking gorillas in Odzala, boating the Congo River, or exploring Brazzaville. For fewer rains, try May or October.
