Congo: Jungle Fever | Deadliest Journeys

00:00 In South Kivu in Congo, the city of Shabunda is one of the most isolated in the country. Its access is so difficult that life is more expensive there than in any European city. Thus, the poorest families come to look for food there by bicycle or motorbike. These convicts of the road sometimes transport up to 250 kilos of goods for several days, without worrying about the dangers. Without ever giving up, these travelers are almost all considered heroes because he who does not travel does not know the value of men, according to the Congolese.
6:09 Long day awaits the driver
11:57 Stairways to hell
22:37 Abandon the truck !
35:25 Gold Rush causes illnesses
43:57 The curse of the road continues

Kinshasa has the largest population of any city in Africa with a population of 14 million within the City limits, and is also the 2nd largest French-speaking city in the world behind Paris. After decades of armed conflicts imposed by neighbouring countries, the infrastructures of the once leading modern African city are now being remarkably restored. Chinese companies are involved in numerous projects of reconstruction throughout the city.

4K Drone Images of DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)

Some shots I made on weekend- or holiday trips out of the big city Kinshasa.
Vast savannas, dense forests, big rivers, pretty waterfalls - only the nearby area of Kinshasa has so much to explore and enjoy and it`s just the top of the iceberg. Most of the country is not that easily accessible due to the lack of roads or airports.

The Best of the Democratic Republic of Congo

DR Congo is a vast country with immense economic resources and, until recently, has been at the center of what some observers call Africa's world war, with widespread civilian suffering the result.

The war claimed an up to six million lives, either as a direct result of fighting or because of disease and malnutrition.

The war had an economic as well as a political side. Fighting was fuelled by the country's vast mineral wealth, with all sides taking advantage of the anarchy to plunder natural resources. Some militia fight on in the east, where a big United Nations force is trying to keep the peace.
