So glad I finally see you in the DRC, what a pleasure to see my beloved country on your list
In this country they speak more English or French as a foreign language. I heard that Francws are losing strength in Africa and English is getting stronger
How is the leadership in congo
Is drc cheap
@@tiktokhot8090 French in a lot of countries is the second language, not a foreign language. More people in francophone countries are now learning English as a foreign language, but French is already the native language of millions of people in the cities and of the local elite, so it's never going to be replaced by English.

Dude, I am impressed by your presentation of this country, in a way that is beyond words. You spoke of the DRC without once mentioning "civil war"; "tribes"; "sexual violence"; "conflict minerals"; "child labour"; "child soldiers" or my least favourite "Africa". And you did this, by speaking of the eastern DRC specifically, where these phenomena are prevalent. Wow! It's really heartwarming to witness that as someone from another part of the world, you spoke so highly and with so much dignity of this country and its people. Congolese people are people first; and the DRC is a nation above all. Not only are they not defined by the perpetual crises they face, they have an abundance to offer in addition. Thank you for showing this, and being so real!
DRC it's not only civil war, rape and others negatives things that there are in our country. We have the right to watch also a positive aspect of our country.
@@serenamawete Uh yes... that's the POINT of my comment. Did you READ it?
Christine K Do some research on what King Leopoldo did to this part of Africa, before you past judgement on Drew.

@@gregorywilliams9302 READ MY COMMENT! What the heck are you saying? I AM CONGOLESE, I AM CONGRATULATING THE MAKER OF THE VIDEO FOR THE FACT THAT HIS VIDEO IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE SEE IN THE NEWS! ARE YOU GUYS OK? I don't need to do research because I know exactly what Leopold II and the Belgians did. I wrote a 7000-word essay on it.
Congo is one of the most beautiful,landscaped country in africa as a whole
I agree
I agree too

Fact
my country :)
Love to my RD Congo🇨🇩 brothers and sisters from Gabon🇬🇦
thank you 🙏🇨🇩
❤❤
Am Kenyan with Tanzanian roots but I love Mboka ya Bakoko. Grew up listening to musical greats like Franco, Nyboma, Samba mapangala, Koffi Olomide, Extra Musica, Wenge Musica, Arlus Mabele & so many others. I've got nothing but L💖VE for that Country.
I remember the name 'Zaire' taught in our social studies subject in primary classes!
Beautiful country indeed 😍
Congo is really beautiful. Didn’t know it’s so green. Love from Sudan ❤️❤️❤️
Did you see its forest .its beautiful
Congo Is Catholic ✝️
Sudan Is Sunni Muslim
yeah congo is very green everywhere you go you see green green and green
It really is pristine and lovely
Thx
Gotta love the accent of his DRC friend
Yepp
He's not Congolese but from Rwanda
Hi TMT I am Uncle Ruckus - No relation
@@eliebembide3534 he is from Congo. But you I'm not sure where you are from. Probably from complexé land or jalousie country
@@ligala1 I'm from Congo myself and I know my people very well, and you're probably from stupidity land or mbakasa land😌🤗
Congo looks like one of the dream places i have dreamed of. So beautiful
I worked in Zaire 40 years ago building a powerline and facilities from Inga in the west on the Congo River to Kolwezi 1,200 miles away. It was a wild time in my life. Having worked from one end of the project to the other was definitely enlightining. I would love to go back and see what it is now.
Congo needs to rise as a developed nation!
They have the best natural resources
Corruption...
Lol good luck with that
Unfortunately, to do that we must go back tons of years to fix the kongo government back when they were an independent kingdom with lots o potentials
Send Dutch there. They seemed to do great with South Africa for awhile
Neocolonialism is the problem!
DRC is really beautiful. I wish all the best to this country.
Respect from Sudan.
thank you wish you guys well too 🙏🇨🇩
Me too
I love to see a different side of the Congo that is positive, and not the usual negative news stuff.
Me: Drew have you visited...
Drew: YEEEEEEEES............
Lol
Have you visited Burundi?
...
yess but not yet
@@Lunkopaarntie hahahahaha
Lukas Ramboer Burundi reminds me of Harald Baldr !
@@AStupidTourist lol
they seem very nice friendly people....and the mountains are so green and beautiful....i want to visit congo so bad!!!! this is not what i see on tv ....
That is a great country, with great weather, culture, and nature. He was in my home town of Goma. And I was born in Masisi. Before the 20 years wars. Masisi was a natural wonder as far as the nature is concerned. I got to see for yourself to believe. I miss it
@@congodignetv8079 where do you live now my brother?
@@RHasan-yy1fb I live in California, last time I was in Goma was in 2013 when I went to visit
it's great. on tv they make it seem much poorer than it is, and make it seem like a country u dont wanna visit. u should visit, if u go to goma try the cheese.
The problem is that Congo can't speak for itself because they speak French..which nobody pays attention to out there..
3:09 "the last week of our lives" RIP Drew
Lol
xD
I thought the same and I was like whaaa-?
Sometimes words are like prophecies, but here he meant to say the past seven days of his travels. May Drew Binsky be blessed with a long and fruitful life. Many more days to come. Amen.

I can't wait to visit DRC one day, soon. That country is beautiful! Truly an African jewel. Love to the Congos!
Congo what anice people I worked 2018 to 2019 kisangani bunia,niania ,mambasa mbote mbote very happy and welcoming people much respect for congo and congolese
Wow! I also recently started teaching some students from Congo (3 days ago) . I really love their personalities and look forward to each day with them. Thank you, Drew Blindly!
Wow. This country is so beautiful.
Great video Drew, love your travels. I'm actually surprised. See, as a historian I read about Congo's recent history which is so tragic. Yet, by showing these videos it also becomes clear Congo can be an amazing place!
Me too
King Leopold II 😠😠
Hi hISTORY I am Uncle Ruckus - No relation

@Mohammed Numan ...how are you ? Do you hate India or Indians ?
@sayantan Das I neither hate India not Indians , I just hate those who don't respect others and always spread negativity and hate across the borders !
@@Dr.Numan04 I am glad to hear that.Because nowdays India is burning over CAB & NRC issue and a lot of hate aganist PAK is sperading like fire on social media
DREW, PLEASE, longer videos. You have amazing coverage and narration. There must be thousands of hours of golden coverage on the cutting room floor. Please share more with us

OMG YOUR SO CLOSE TO COMPLETING YOUR GOAL! drew binsky you are an amazing person who admires every culture, tradition, and country's. You are really respectful and want to learn different cultures and religions ❤️ I love your videos because they are so inspiring, educational, and adventurous. Because of you, I want to become a traveller when I grow up! Always remember that never give up and every time you do something great, you are one step closer to your dream. Be safe for your next travel and enjoy they world 🙏❤️🛫
Living in Tucson Arizona, from the Congo, big love ❤️
I was just sitting here thinking 'I wonder what Congo is like' and after sifting through dozens of war-related documentaries I came across this video! Excellent job!
By far this country impressed me so much it literally took my breath away i will pick this than going to Paris
Are you mad?
@@youtubetroller2451 what you mean stop spreading bad rumors about congo are you even congolese? are you from congo? you probably believe everything you see on TV don't listen to the news they always show bad things about congo and all of africa
i think your the one who is mad and need help don't believe everything you see on tv
Hook up with this guy's guide, then. It might be scenically beautiful, but the Congo is one of the most dangerous places in the world, with rampant violent crime, especially against tourists, and this is known. A white woman travelling alone would be in grave danger there.
@@timjonesvideos There is crime and violence around the world what is your point.
@@rlydatnga His point is that the Congo is ethnically, culturally, and linguistically divided in the many states and thanks to exploitation of it'd resources and people the citizens of the country live in poverty which means there way more crime like break ins, grape without the g and even murder.
12 more countries! Love to discover world with you Drew! ❤️ safe travels!
This county got the richest resources ever damn
congo is a country...
twix no it a state stupid.... Africa is continent
man ur English is broken I think you meant to say country
Soo Why this country is poor,
Arab are rich because of resources
pew pewpwq Are they talking arabic. They are talking French in the middle of Africa. You know what i mean.
This is one of the most breathtaking videos I've seen of your channel.
My favorite part of The DRC is for sure it's wildlife/nature
Yepp
Hi Kawaii I am Uncle Ruckus - No relation
Those kids at the end were so wholesome to watch gather around you lol!
But man, this country looks freaking beautiful, it would be a heaven for me the nature is stunning! I've never seen anything that pretty
Thank you for showing my country in such a positive light ❤️
This is the most beautiful video I've ever seen of yours! (nature-wise)
My father is Congolese and my mother is Dutch. I live in the Netherlands but really want to visit DRC. Thank you for making these videos, now I can get the some off the experience too😁😁 waited a long time for you visiting DRC
Great to see a positive perspective of this storied amazing country. Easy to see that the DRC has incredible future potential as a tourism destination in Africa
Thank you for posting this! I enjoyed seeing this country. It is where my family is from. Mbote ndeko!
Oef so proud of my country 🇨🇩🇨🇩
Aghase?
Proud of poverty or your stupid leaders who invest in Belgium?
okezie christopher Proud of the people in Congo 🇨🇩🇨🇩 :) Not all of Congo is poor :)
okezie christopher corrupt leaders are not real leaders so they aren’t the Congolese leaders. And it is a beautiful place, filled with many resources and wonderful minerals. One day the mercenaries, and westerns will loose their control, so will the Chinese, so will the neighbouring corrupt leaders and you will have a different say
okezie christopher proud to give you electronic
mboka ya bakoko is on my #bucketlist Just stunning! and the music from DRC is fire!!!!!!!
hi Drew! Just wanted to sincerely thank you for your wonderful videos. I homeschool my 3 children and we are currently studying the continent of Africa. We use your videos on a daily basis! My kids love watching them, and they are learning so much. Thanks for keeping them interesting and kid friendly 😁
Best videos I watched today looking forward for future videos can't wait until you reach every country

Drew is so humble. And I also like that he doesn't sugarcoat anything. If he didn't like something, he points it out. I wanna be like him one day. Or at least visit 50 countries. 😅
the nature is beautiful over there and pure
OMG DRC is so beautiful and natural!!
I swear i'll will visit the Republic Democratic of Congo next year!!
I used to tell my friends I was from the Congo and didn’t know it is a real place
I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!
I read this blog about a couple that did a road trip from onside of the Congo to the other. It was very interesting and now I’m interested in the DRC
Love your videos drew keep up the great work ❤️👍
Yepp he is awesome
Finally so happy, i was already worried
Me too
Hi Martin I am Uncle Ruckus - No relation
Great to see this country of very resilient people, I am from Angola and I'll definitely visit DRC some day.

Finally a new video❤️
I'm proud of my beautiful Congo
As a Congolese, i appreciate you making this video ❤🇨🇩
I love the extras that we get at the end.
Wow, doctor Congo is a cool place
More and more young and honest people in Congo must aspire to become leaders of their country to replace the corrupt ones.
Wow. This country looks incredible

Finally u uploaded lol
There were 6 days without a vid I’m like “oh are you arrested or something”thank god
I thought that was The case lol
Same
There is a thing called "Taking a Break"
Naps Maps yeah I know but he usually tells us when he takes one so that’s why I was concerned
@Agk Web
Hm, but he wouldn't wanted to make any video because he was so tired to even tell that he is taking break
Omg Next time I leave the us I won’t come back fun fact the Congo was inspiration of black panther
Lol
Deva Rafael when I looked it up it said it was Lesotho
You just saying random stuff
SND PRO yup
Wakanda forever.
Drew.. thank you for the Video, actually DRC has 450 tribes with 450 dialects. Loved it.
Wow! I believe a lot of us here are worried, Drew. Glad to see you again. Will be looking forward to videos regarding DR Congo. You're one of those people who have inspired me to travel & I'm currently visiting a remote area here in northeastern Philippines. Lots of love from the Philippines :D :D
0:32 wowww😯 I wouldn't have guessed that 😯❤️
1:13 That’s the greenest city I’ve ever seen
Hope you do a separate video for Virunga National Park and another one for climbing Niyarigongo that you briefly showed in this video!
Drew you’re just making us aware how countries around the world are safe and beautiful..You’re doing exactly opposite of what media shows to the public...Great job 👍👍👍
