DR Congo

The Democratic Republic of Congo is defined by the scale of its river basin — the Congo River drains a rainforest second in size only to the Amazon, and its waters pulse through the country like a circulatory system. Kinshasa roars with noise and colour on the river's southern bank, while much of the interior moves at the rhythm of dugout canoes and equatorial rain.

French is the official language, and the Congolese franc is the currency. The country holds extraordinary ethnic and linguistic diversity, with hundreds of languages spoken alongside four widely used national tongues: Lingala, Kikongo, Tshiluba, and Swahili.
