Congo is located in East Africa. It has a small shoreline with the Atlantic Ocean.
To get to the country you would have to take a plane to Brazzaville, Congo's capital.
Congo's president is Denis Sassou Nguesso and it's government is a Dominant-Party Presidential Republic. Nguesso took over by force in 1980.
The currency of Congo is the Central African Franc.
Going to Congo would be a safe trip. No bad things are really happening there. The only concern is the border of Congo and the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). The DRC is not a very friendly country to their people or their neighbors. Congo is friendly to the U.S. and we have no issues towards Congo.
