Frequently asked
Is it safe to travel to the DRC?+
Safety varies by region. DRC Tourism routes travelers only through areas cleared by current safety guidance, using licensed local guides and ranger protection where required. See our travel guide for the latest region-by-region advice.
Do I need a visa?+
Most visitors need a visa. Our specialist can advise on eVisa or embassy processes as part of your itinerary.
How far in advance should I plan?+
Gorilla permits and national park access are limited — 2 to 4 months ahead is ideal, though shorter-notice itineraries can sometimes be arranged.
Is the trip planner an AI, or a real person?+
The chat drafts your itinerary using AI, but every submitted plan is reviewed, priced and confirmed by a licensed DRC-based human specialist within 24–48 hours.
Is this a real booking, or just an inquiry?+
It's a free, no-obligation inquiry. Nothing is booked until you approve the specialist's proposed itinerary and pricing.
