Tourism is one of East Africa's most important foreign-exchange earners. There is the Big Five safari experience in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda, the Swahili coast, the islands of Zanzibar, and cultural and faith tourism. The region offers a genuinely diverse product. The industry supports tour operators, travel agents, safari camps, luxury lodges, and a deep ecosystem of guides, drivers, and transfer operators.

EABD lists tour operators, travel agencies, safari camps, lodges, cultural-tourism operators, and DMC (destination management) companies. Verified profiles include licensing (KATO, AUTO, TATO membership where applicable), itineraries offered, and reviews from past travellers.

About DR Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of Africa's largest markets: more than 100 million people, the copper and cobalt belt of Haut-Katanga and Lualaba, the port of Matadi, and Kinshasa, a city of more than 17 million with a services economy to match. In the east, Goma, Bukavu and Bunia trade daily with Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania, and the country joined the East African Community in 2023.

EABD lists Congolese businesses in Kinshasa and across all 26 provinces, including Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, Goma, Bukavu, Kisangani, Mbuji-Mayi, Kananga and beyond. Browse by province, by town or by industry. Where a business is verified, EABD has confirmed its RCCM registration and contact details, which matters in a market where much of business still runs through personal introductions.
