"Expats in Congo often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to, which can be challenging. Language barriers can be a challenge, as French is the official language and many locals do not speak English. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the lack of infrastructure and resources to be a challenge, as well as the lack of reliable internet and phone services. Finally, the political and security situation in Congo can be unpredictable and dangerous, making it difficult for expats to feel safe and secure," remarked another expat who made the move to Congo.
