"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Congo. Avoid making negative comments about the country or its people, as this can be seen as offensive. Additionally, it is important to dress modestly and to be aware of the local customs regarding physical contact. It is also important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking in a loud or aggressive manner. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local religious beliefs and to respect them," explained one expat living in Congo.
