MTN Congo and Airtel Congo are the two main operators in the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville, not to be confused with DRC). 4G coverage in Brazzaville (capital), Pointe-Noire (port and economic hub), Dolisie and Ouesso. MTN typically leads urban; Airtel has broader nationwide reach. The northern equatorial forest (Odzala-Kokoua National Park — lowland gorillas) has very limited coverage — lodges have satellite Wi-Fi. The Congo river between Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire has intermittent coverage. Atlantic coast (Pointe-Noire, Conkouati) covered. No commercial 5G. Type C/E French plugs, 230V/50Hz.
Fly into Brazzaville-Maya-Maya (BZV) or Pointe-Noire (PNR). Currency Central African CFA franc (XAF), ~625 XAF per USD (fixed peg euro). Mid-range dinner 10-25 USD, mid-range hotel 80-200 USD (oil-city Pointe-Noire pricier). Visa required — usually hard to obtain. Brazzaville faces Kinshasa across the Congo river (the world's closest capital-pair). Odzala-Kokoua is the gem — lowland gorillas, forest elephants, buffalo. Pointe-Noire for beach and business. English very limited — French essential. Cards limited, USD/EUR cash useful.
