Live Webcams in Democratic Republic of the Congo

The live webcams in the Democratic Republic of the Congo look at the forest: the Albertine Rift in the east, where the last Grauer's gorillas live in the hills above the lakes, and the sanctuaries and reserves that work to keep them there. This is the second-largest country in Africa by land area, and the Congo basin holds the second-largest rainforest on Earth after the Amazon. The eastern half keeps Central Africa Time, UTC+2, with no daylight saving, and the equator crosses the country, so the day runs to roughly twelve hours all year and the forest morning falls in the European small hours. Some 124 million people live here, more than in any other French-speaking country. June to September are the drier months in the east, and the best season to travel its forest roads.
