Our Story
Congo Local Guides
WHO WE ARE Congo Local Guides Sarl (CLG Sarl) was first initiated in 2014 and was limited to Goma and surrounding village tours. With aim to offer unique experience to travelers and innovative services that are aligned to Sustainable Development Goals, we incorporated our activities under Congo Local Guides Sarl in August 2019. CLG activities do not focus on traditional tourism only based on city views and popular destination. We offer tourists, basically those who are adventures and challenges friendly, a chance to discover the DR Congo and people in their diversity. Congo remains the least visit countries i n the region due to political instability and repeated wars and conflicts in some eastern part. This has negatively impacted Congo as a destination while actually 80% (Official) of Congo territory has been pacified. An evidence that Congo is a safe destination. Most of our services are road and water trip and can take up to a month for over 4,000 km. Outside of enjoying and testing our limits through our tours, traveler’s safety and security remain our main concern. Therefore, we take measured risks.. We also lay great emphasis on conservation and teaching the locals how to protect and conserve their beautiful country. WHY WE DO IT We want to sustainably contribute to local community development inside the Congo through tourism. That said, we are not only focused on making a profit, but also on identifying unknown, forgotten or old heritages owned by locals and government that may be of interest for international travelers, to ensure their visits positively change lives at large scale in the Congo, and in the world. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT We want to see: A reduction in youth unemployment in the Congo (and actively contribute to it as an employer). Local heritage preserved and shared with those visiting our country. Tourism as a force that drives positive change in the Congo and the world. We and others limit our ecological footprint and live in harmony with nature.
