Is anyone actually travelling in Congo these days?

I was there in like 1996 (don't remember the exact year)... and it was great, although the country was already falling apart (or had fallen apart a long time ago). I've got lots of pretty good pictures but they're not in digital format, so that's a project there, to make them digital, then I can share them here.

Anyways, even though the country was in such bad shape back then, there was a small trickle of travelers. I was based in Kisangani for a while, and there would be a traveler or two coming through every other week or so. There was a track you could do coming from west Africa, going through Congo, into east africa. I don't imagine that's possible or reasonable anymore, with all the violence the last few years.

So is anyone still actually traveling to Congo?
