Authentique Congo Tours (formerly Danico Tours)

Welcome to AUTHENTIQUE CONGO TOURS (formerly known as DANICO TOURS), where discovery and adventure await in the heart of Congo DRC. Our company, founded and led by Serge ILUNGA AKELA, invites you to experience the majestic landscapes and vibrant cultures of one of Africa’s most captivating destinations. With a deep passion for his homeland and years of guiding expertise, Serge has created AUTHENTIQUE CONGO TOURS to bring travelers on unforgettable journeys that uncover the wonders of Congo.

Serge’s dedication to authentic travel means each tour is carefully crafted to deliver unique encounters in a challenging, yet immensely rewarding environment. His expertise ensures that every expedition promises not only adventure but also safety and profound engagement with the land and its people. At the heart of our offerings is the legendary Congo River cruise, a journey that winds through pristine rainforests, connects local communities, and captures the very essence of Congo. Spanning between Kisangani and Kinshasa, these river cruises provide a rare perspective, unveiling the daily rhythms of riverside life and immersing travelers in Congo’s rich biodiversity.

Beyond the river, AUTHENTIQUE CONGO TOURS offers access to some of the world’s most cherished wildlife experiences. Congo is a sanctuary for endangered primates, including bonobos, gorillas, and chimpanzees, and Serge’s skilled guidance allows you to observe these extraordinary creatures in their natural habitats. Trekking through Congo’s dense forests to witness these animals is a privilege few experience, a true window into one of Earth’s most fragile ecosystems.

In addition to wildlife, Congo DRC is a cultural treasure, home to hundreds of distinct tribes, each preserving a unique heritage. AUTHENTIQUE CONGO TOURS fosters meaningful interactions with these communities, revealing traditional customs, art, and ways of life that reflect the resilience and beauty of Congo’s people. With visits to iconic destinations like Virunga National Park, Kahuzi-Biega, Salonga, and the Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary, we introduce you to both the familiar and the hidden gems of Congo.

Let AUTHENTIQUE TOURS be your guide through this remarkable land. Join us as we explore the depths of Congo and connect with its soul, led by Serge’s passion and expertise. We look forward to welcoming you on a journey of a lifetime.

Warm regards,
