Zongo Falls

Zongo Falls, On the Moanda road, Zongo Falls are only 135 km from Kinshasa, which is the capital of Zaire. The beautiful falls are a great place to unwind and rest.When you visit the Zongo Waterfalls, you can enjoy a beautiful setting in Zongo Park. One of the most beautiful sights in the DRC is the 65-meter-high Zongo Falls. The waterfall is in Kisantu, which is in the Bas Congo and takes three to four hours to get to.

It takes some climbing to get to the viewpoints, but the view of the water roaring over the edge and into the river below is unforgettable. The clouds of water vapor that rise to the sky when the river water hits the ground are what make Zongo waterfalls stand out. If you go during the dry season, you could go to the beach 10 km from the waterfall to enjoy the massage waterfall.

Peace of mind

People don’t think the republic is as safe to visit as some of its neighboring countries because of its turbulent political situation. That’s why our DR Congo tours can only happen if you book ahead of time and check the current security situation.

Because there are so many minerals in the east and there are power struggles, it is often less safe there than in other parts of the country. Pickpockets are common in bigger towns, so be careful and be quiet.

The infrastructure

It’s true that Congo’s road network isn’t very well developed, and only 2% of the roads are paved. These problems are mostly caused by the fact that it rains a lot in the Congo Basin, which makes building roads or trains hard. Because of this, waterways are chosen all over the country.

Two-thirds of the country is crossed by rivers that can be navigated. This makes it easier to get from one city to another. Like the roads, the water and power supply is worse. About 10% of the people in the world can connect to power and water. Usually, you can only get a phone or cell network in bigger cities.
