I think the way they tell it in canon, it seems that Lois went to the Congo there too, but there she came back. I always figure Clark had something to do with that, even if inadvertently.
Hmmm, they never actually say that Clark had not seen Lois before they meet at the planet. Hmmm. This scenario has been addressed in several stories, but I've never read one where Linda went off to the Congo INSTEAD of Lois and ended up dying.
