See & Do in Kinshasa

Zongo Falls

130km from the city and deep in the Congolese rainforest.  Day trips to the falls are best undertaken with a guide.

Congo River

Many tour companies organise trips on the river. Nearby sandbars are a popular picnic destination. Boats are also available for hire from the Yacht club.

The Kinshasa Yacht Club

Outstanding views of the river and the heavily-laden barges heading inland to Kisangani. Picnic trips can be arranged up the river or to one of the islands.

Lola Ya Bonobo

A shelter for orphaned and endangered apes, called Bonobos, about one hour out of the city. Visitors can stay the night although space is very limited.
