To the south and east of it is the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is additionally limited by Gabon to the west, Cameroon and the Central African Republic to the north, and Cabinda (Angola) to the southwest. It has a short Atlantic coast.
The capital, Brazzaville, is spotted on the Congo River, in the south of the nation, instantly opposite from Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The southwest of the nation is a beachfront plain for which the essential seepage is the Kouilou-Niari River; the inside of the nation comprises of a mid level between two sinks to the south and north. Woodlands are under expanding abuse pressure.
Since the nation is spotted on the Equator, the atmosphere is constant year-adjust, with the normal day temperature being a sticky 24 °C (75 °F) and nights usually between 16 °C (61 °F) and 21 °C (70 °F). The normal yearly precipitation extends from 1,100 millimetres (43 in south in the Niari valley to over 2,000 millimetres (79 in mid parts of the nation. The dry season is from June to August while in the dominant part of the nation the wet time of year has two precipitation maxima: one in March–May and an additional in September–November.
In 2006–07, scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society considered gorillas in largely forested locales fixated on the Ouesso area of the Sanga Region. They prescribe an inhabitant total on the request of 125,000 Western Lowland Gorillas, whose segregation from people has been extensively saved by unfriendly marshes.

Demographics
The Republic of the Congo's meager citizenry is moved in the southwestern part of the nation, leaving the boundless territories of tropical bush in the north essentially uninhabited. Accordingly, Congo is a standout amongst the most urbanized nations in Africa, with 70% of its aggregate residents living in a couple urban territories, specifically in Brazzaville, Pointe-Noire, or one of the humble urban areas or villages lining the 534-kilometre (332 mi) route which interfaces the two urban communities. In provincial territories, modern and business movement has declined quickly in later years, leaving provincial economies reliant on the legislature for backing and subsistence.
Ethnically and semantically the inhabitant total of the Republic of the Congo is different—Ethnologue recognises 62 vocalized dialects in the nation—however could be aggregated into several classifications. The Kongo are the greatest ethnic gathering and shape harshly a large part of the inhabitants present. The most noteworthy subgroups of the Kongo are Laari in Brazzaville and Pool locales and Vili around Pointe-Noire and along the Atlantic coast. The second greatest gathering are the Teke who exist to the north of Brazzaville with 17% of the residents. Boulangui (M’Boshi) exist in northwest and in Brazzaville and structure 12% of the people.
Soon after the 1997 war, around 9,000 Europeans and other non-Africans existed in Congo, the greater part of whom were French; just a part of this number remains. Around 300 American ostracizes live in the Congo. Almost 2,000 white South African agriculturists have communicated investment in heading off to Congo.Pygmies make up between 5-10% of Congo's population.

Open training is hypothetically unlimited and obligatory for under-16-year olds, however in practice, liabilities exist.Net essential selection rate was 44% in 2005, a great deal less than the 79% in 1991. The nation has schools. Training between a really long time six and sixteen is necessary. People who complete six years of grade school and seven years of auxiliary school get a baccalaureate. At the school, scholars can get a four year certification in several years and an expert's after four. Marien Ngouabi University—which offers courses in solution, law, and numerous different fields—is the nation's sole open school. Guideline to any detectable degree levels is in French, and the instructive framework as an entire models the French framework. The instructive framework has been genuinely debased accordingly of political and monetary emergencies. There are no seats in most classrooms, driving youngsters to sit on the deck. Venturesome people have set up private schools, yet they frequently fail to offer the specialized information and commonality with the national curriculum to educate adequately. Families often select their youngsters in private schools just to find they can't make the installments.
