National stability

Being from the Congo, would recommend to visit, especially "Pointe Niore" just so nice and peaceful. After years of instability and civil war, Congo-Brazzaville appears to be developing into a relatively secure country, with good potential for development. The main cities of Brazzaville and Pointe Noire are now considered safe to travel to, but there is still sporadic rebel activity in the rural areas.

Beach resorts offer diversity

Congo-Brazzaville has a coastline of 160km on the Atlantic Ocean. There is a small but thriving beach resort scene, which caters mainly to expatriates employed in the oil industry in Pointe Noire. Facilities include sea kayaking, water skiing and surfing and golf is available at an eco-friendly 18-hole course in Diosso. The beaches of the nearby Côte Sauvage are considered amongst the best in the region and there is real potential to offer beach holidays in combination with an eco-tourism adventure.




Transport infrastructure still needs huge investment

The transportation infrastructure remains poor and in dire need of investment. The civil war years badly damaged both road and rail links, and air transportation maintains important links between Brazzaville and the economic port Pointe Noire. The 1,120km of waterways remain vital for transporting goods and people throughout the country. However, recent news of investment by Korean and French consortiums promise improvements to rail, road and port facilities, which will boost travel throughout the country.







Pointe Niore In the south is the place to go for if you want to sun and tan. The beaches are clean and shaded by palm trees. The temperature of the water is great all year round.
