Kinshasa is the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo and is less popular with tourists than the lakeside town of Goma. You will have a wonderful time here, drinking coffee and checking out the locals, who hurry through the streets in a flurry of colour. They are notoriously friendly, and everyone from the shop owner to the hotelier will be keen to greet you and provide a Congolese welcome. This capital is a busy trade spot, so you’ll see people from all over the country, as well as Africa, passing through here. It can be a whirlwind stop off, so take time out from all the excitement by visiting the biggest park in the area, Parc de la Vallee de la Nsele. Easily accessible by car, and located only 40 kilometres away, you’ll be able to spend a fun morning here (best to arrive before lunch as the animals are sleeping in the afternoon) checking out the lions, zebras, hippos and rhinos. We recommend you keep an eye out for overhanging tree branches if you’re sitting on the raised seats of the safari tour as they could take your head off if you’re not careful. You can also take in views of the Nsele River here.
Goma is a place unlike anywhere in Congo.This border town is occupied by more expats than anywhere else in the country, which gives it an almost cosmopolitan atmosphere. The city centre is new, having been reconstructed after the 2002 eruption of nearby Nyiragongo volcano and it is picture perfect. Le Chalet is a highly rated restaurant that serves pizza, pasta and typically European dishes to satisfy all tastes. You’ll find lots of cute cafes and restaurants to hang out in while you get ready to head out of town on a trek of the Rwenzori Mountains or plan a few days in the Virunga National Park.
Virunga is a must-see stop off for your Congo itinerary. Deemed Africa’s most biodiverse protected area, over 30% of the world’s wild mountain gorillas are being conserved from poachers and trafficking here. They are well-known for being friendly, intelligent creatures and if you’re lucky enough to encounter them on a visit to the park then you’ll have unforgettable memories to last a lifetime. Giant forest hogs, along with other African mammals can be spotted on a safari tour of the Ishasha Plains here. There are a variety of accommodation options for all budgets provided at the park so you can get even closer to nature.
Getting a taste of Congolese cuisine is another wonderful way to learn more about this fascinating place. You’ll never be short of a mango here, and they’re often served liberally at any meal time. Did you know mango could be eaten warm with meat? It really is delicious. Moambe chicken is the national dish here. The meat is stewed with palm butter (moambe) and other spices and generally comes with rice and boiled cassava leaves (saka saka). The flavour of the moambe gives it a distinctive flavour that you’re guaranteed to love. Another hearty recipe that you’ll find in any Congolese home or traditional restaurant is Fumbwa. Perhaps more recognisable to you and I as spinach, this vegetarian stew is boiled up with tomatoes and onions. Sometimes catfish is added for extra variety as well as palm oil for flavour. You’ll be dying to make your own version of this again once you get back home.
