The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) offers a unique appeal for a segment of Ethiopia's population of 123 million, although the lack of comprehensive and reliable tourism data makes it difficult to assess its overall attractiveness as a destination. This absence of detailed information reflects broader challenges in data collection and reporting within the DRC.
Congo, D.R. is considered less safe for tourists compared to Ethiopia. According to the Global Peace Index, Congo, D.R. ranks 155th out of 160 countries, while Ethiopia ranks 142nd. Although specific murder rates for Congo, D.R. are not available, Ethiopia has a murder rate of 8.8 per 100,000 people. The Global Organized Crime Index further highlights the safety concerns, with Congo, D.R. scoring poorly across various crime categories.

Other indices for Congo, D.R. are also concerning, with scores of 9.0 for crime networks, state crime, and resource crime.
