DR Congo
DR Congo is a vast country of the Congo river, rainforest and Kinshasa, one of the largest cities on the continent. Local produce is cheap, while international-standard housing, transport and services are expensive and arranged in advance. The climate is equatorial: hot and humid all year, with rainy seasons that differ from region to region. Healthcare, roads and power supply are weak, several regions are closed to travel, and moving around the country means flying.
