Birding DRC
Birding DRC is not recommended at present due to the volatile and unsafe situation in the country. The eastern areas are especially dangerous, however many of the once-protected forest and national park areas are also becoming unsafe.
If the current situation should abate and peace descends on the DRC then bird watchers will be able to visit some of the most beautiful birding regions in the world.
