Congo: Jungle Fever | Deadliest Journeys
00:00 In South Kivu in Congo, the city of Shabunda is one of the most isolated in the country. Its access is so difficult that life is more expensive there than in any European city. Thus, the poorest families come to look for food there by bicycle or motorbike. These convicts of the road sometimes transport up to 250 kilos of goods for several days, without worrying about the dangers. Without ever giving up, these travelers are almost all considered heroes because "he who does not travel does not know the value of men", according to the Congolese.

I don't think I've ever seen something so humbling. These people have probably the hardest life to live and still keep going. I truly do feel bad for the people who have been abandoned.
There’s much tougher living out there than this. Not taking anything from it though between bad roads and lack of proper food supplies certainly a hard life
When he said "The Congo is not a country for living, it is a country for suffering"..... damn, I felt that.
How would u feel it if u never experienced it ?
Stop to write foolishness words, DRC is the most beautiful country in the world
@@yustomwaisomania2587 Nobody said anything about your county get out your feelings. The Congo is the jungle and most people couldn't survive a week in it.
Tough life and tough travel. Nothing looks easy there. For many people in the world this is all they know. Nobody gets to choose where they are born. Respect to the people of the Congo and those that keep them supplied. ✌

There's one thing these documentaries are very successful at doing and that is imparting the virtue of Gratitude. I'm pretty much happy doing anything after watching these...
Honest and hard working! God bless these hard working men.
The sad thing is that this is the richest country in the world with all kinds of natural resources, but unfortunately, it is been exploited without even a cent benefitting the locals.
You are very correct but, the real situation on the ground is far beyond your thinking. There are hidden issues that people don't see.
No one said that life is fair
All my respect to the people who work hard the entire lifetime. Resilient and determination to survive! I watched every minute of this vid to appreciate every second that how lucky i am currently. Hope the best of the best to the Congolese.
penso igual meu camarada..
You are not lucky .These people may have a hard life but they are happier because they do not have all the new world bullshit .
The richest place on earth comes at an astonishing cost. So uneducated people think that they are so lucky to have what they have, without realising where it comes from, the universal cost, or how come the world is upside down.
meganggu kerja orang
same here. me too. we need to be grateful in every bit of food that we eat, every seconds of comfy sleep that we take, every accessible road that we took everyday. we should stop our silly sigh everyday and start moving forward to improve our self.
The resilience of these Congolese to overcome all adversities is something extraordinary. One can only admire Congolese.
The Chinese Government, the communists, and the Belt and Road Intiative are evil, despicable people. and ideas birthed from the paranoid, narcissistic sick man of Asia. Horrible. awful ideas by mental unhealthy leaders. The Congolese deserve better friends.
Agreed the Congan are the most resilient people on planet earth. 🧡🇹🇿 love from Tanzania
Looking at them, I remember that incident in India when one man built a road through a mountain... Or how another person in Africa planted a whole forest himself!! And many other examples when people start working FOR THEMSELVES! and get great results! Why don't all the villagers want to get together and build a good road for themselves!!!???? NO! They are waiting for someone to come and do it for them, and INSTEAD OF THEM!! Until they change themselves!! - And they will not change the structure of their society! - they will be doomed to live in poverty and all this shit! I don't feel sorry for them!!!
65 years, no progress, just the rich take the money from all diamonds kobalt etc etc.... yet, they still say its the kolonisation is fault...
@@sleepmnan22sleepman50 Clearly you don't. It's their fault. Life will one day teach you a valuable lesson.

After that long difficult road, almost out of the woods and then splash!You had the right mind and approach. Thank you for sharing, I hope you have smoother rides to come!! Take care!!
Watching this as a American and I’m beyond words, as there is no level of poverty anywhere in America on this scale. The spirit and heart of these people is inspiring and heartbreaking.
There are pockets of starvation across East Africa mainly every year, no access to water or food, living in squalid encampments. The people D.R.C and East Congo have nature's bounty on their doorstep, they might not live in luxury but for Sub-Saharan Africans they are doing reasonably well.

The Congolese, what brave men. I still don't understand why Africa lives in such miserable conditions. God bless you from Colombia.

Median income in Congo = $395 / year Median income in Colombia = $3,300 / year Take your income and divide by four and your counterpart in Congo still earns half as much. Pretty hard to imagine the struggle.
I've been to both bro. Although things in Colombia are far from the best they could be, DRC is leagues apart in terms of economic hardship. It really doesn't get much worse than the Congo.

I have been around the world doing cycling races, but this trip is by far the most memorable. I hope one day Congo will get what it deserves; its such a beautiful and impressive country.

First and foremost, my truly appreciation to the crew who spent their toughest nights and days physically and mentally in order to show us the true " hell on earth ". This document must have been watched by the United Nation for an immediate action and or sanctions internationally to those who made their own citizen so hardcore. I was so freaking frustrated when seeing a mom caring her baby sitting on top of the truck travelling a helluva long and dangerous over the course of the trip. I wish they would secure the real leader who can be a game changer for Congo, this is what they needed. Subscribed.
Most of African countries are like this, but I have to admit that my country Botswana 🇧🇼, is one of them but to be honest our side it's better, our government tried their best there is free education and health, it's really better the problem is people of Botswana want to work in offices all of them, they left the cattle posts and crop fields and went to the city, 😢

I salute to all hard working citizens of Congo... God bless them with good health and good food through out the year
Amazing documentary
Omg! 1-3 weeks to go just 43 miles. Where I live we do it in 45 minutes. I pay for these tough and resilient people. May they have good health and happiness!!
right? I just drove 300 miles in 6 hours over mountains and all. It was nothing compared to this. At work I fuel and grease heavy machinery in remote locations, I have fun driving the muddy roads but what I do is a joke compared to this.
in Congo, the very few are extremely rich and the majority are very poor.But the time I spent in Drc taught me to appreciate life and I fell in love with that country.
Swahili music is very pleasant...
One of the best documentary
Thank u for sharing this amazing doc. 👏👏👏New sub here🙋🙋🙋
My eyes are filled with tears by looking their conditions of living and May God ease their sufferings and and makes their life easir. We thought our life is bad but in compared to them they are dreaming to live a life like us. These people are honest, brave and Very grounded to earth...hats off to them
hmmm, I appriciate your empathie but afterall who says these people are not happy. from my perspective apart from the mining village, congolese people live sometimes a very fullfilled life full of real relationships. I am certainly more isolated than that village living in zürich.
The Congolese are happy yes but as a result of resignation and adaptation to condition you have no control over.The world should move at a pace set by modern standards but many who still scramble for the resources in the congo can not allow a change in this country
They're in middle of the rainforest where humans don't really belong. Sadly, life is inevitably going to be super tough.

In Germany Army it was maintained according the workshop manual. No better trucks than rich country military trucks. Or, maybe it was former East German? Then it could be a Russian truck, which are just as good, by the way. Remember Russian winter conditions? All that snow will melt, and then? Mud!

Your journey is truly extraordinary. The driver's persistence in passing this road is transportation's struggle to facilitate the distribution of goods belonging to the community. Roads like this are rarely found in my country, of course because the government really pays attention to them. This video was a year ago, hopefully it will be good now.
The roads only gets worse with time. I live in Eswatini and I can attest to that fact. Nothing ever gets better.
