AFRICA'S WONDERLAND 
The Belgian Congo 
3 PRACTICAL TRAVEL PLANS 
with Extension Tours 
to East Africa and South Africa 
The Congo is the fabulous Africa . . . 
land of great lakes and mountains, 
of mighty rivers and vast jungle areas 
. . . land of legend, of strange native 
tribal customs . . . land of the 
mysterious pygmy people, of the giant 
| Watusi ... the Africa of Livingstone and 
Stanley, a wonderland of high adventure. 
The heart of Africa is no longer remote from pleasure 
travel. SABENA’s de luxe DC-6 airliners will take 
you from New York to Leopoldville, capital of the 
Belgian Congo, in only 33 flying hours. Today a tour of 
the Congo is as practical as a tour of Europe. 
There are no hardships connected with travel in this 
amazing part of the world. Everywhere you will find 
a hospitable welcome. In the larger cities you stay 
at hotels with all modern conveniences. Attractive 
guest houses are available in the smaller places. 
You will motor along good roads or travel by 
comfortable lake or river steamers. You need 
not be an “intrepid adventurer” to follow 
the routes explored by Livingstone, Stanley and 
other daring men who only three generations 
ago described this vast region as “Darkest Africa.” 
In this folder you will find three practical travel 
plans for the Congo, which can be extended to East 
and South Africa, designed by Thos. Cook & Son, the 
world’s largest and most experienced travel agency in 
cooperation with SABENA, the principal international 
air line serving the Belgian Congo. You can visit 
the Congo any time of the year. Due to the high 
altitude of most of the regions of outstanding travel- 
interest, climatic conditions are favorable for touring. 
The tours, which are planned to cover a reasonable 
length of time, approximately one month of travel 
from New York back to New York, include all of the 
major sights of the Congo: important and rapidly 
growing cities such as Leopoldville, near the mouth 
of the great River Congo; Stanleyville, principal 
port of the Upper River, and Elizabethville in the heart 
of the famous Katanga Copper Mining Region; 
Lake Tanganyika, Lake Kivu; the fabulous Mountains 
of the Moon; the Ituri Forest, home of the Pygmies; 
the magnificent Albert National Park, one of the 
world’s finest wild life sanctuaries; the Ruanda-Urundi 
region of the Eastern Congo, land of the Watusi, 
seven-foot giants reputedly descended from the 
ancient Abyssinians. Wherever you go you will find the 
scenes and life of the Congo of absorbing interest. 
It is a unique travel-experience. 
Extension Tours that may be conveniently fitted in 
with your Congo Tour will take you to Uganda, to the 
Source of the River Nile, to Kenya and Tanganyika 
with their vast Big Game reserves; to Kilimanjaro, 
Africa’s loftiest mountain, to the Great Rift Valley 
and Serengeti Plains. Or you may continue down 
to South Africa, visiting the amazing Victoria Falls; 
Kruger National Park, largest of all wild life 
sanctuaries; bustling lohannesburg, a modern 
metropolis of gold mining; Kimberley, the city of the 
diamond; Pretoria, Capital of the Union of South 
Africa; beautiful Capetown; Durban, handsome 
resort city on the shores of the Indian Ocean; the 
Valley of a Thousand Hills; interesting Native 
Reserves and innumerable other highlights of travel. 
Thos. Cook & Son’s chain of offices throughout Africa 
cooperating with those of SABENA will render 
every possible service, assuring you a well planned 
and carefully carried out tour in this most fascinating 
part of the world . . . AFRICA.
