What are some things to do in Kinshasa?
Kinshasa, DRC, is the capital and largest city of the country, the third-largest city in Africa after Cairo and Lagos, and the largest Francophone (French-speaking) city in the world – even bigger than Paris! This means it is always teeming with people and with life. Take a half-day tour of the Bonobo Sanctuary (Lola ya Bonobo), which is a shelter for orphaned, endangered apes. The Congo River is Africa’s behemoth, and is also worth visiting. On the other side of the river, a whopping 1 kilometre away (which shows you how wide the river is), is the capital of the Republic of the Congo, Brazzaville. These two capital cities are the second-closest pairing of capital cities in the world (after Rome and Vatican City). South Africans will need a visa to get there, accessible by ferry. The National Museum of Congo depicts the cultural history of the many ethnic groups and tribes of the DRC. The Marché Central is one of the largest markets in Africa and it is best visited with a local tour guide. Africa Parkaventure offers a tropical jungle experience with ziplining and other river activities on the outskirts of the city. The poulet arachide (chicken in peanut sauce) served at the local restaurant at the park, comes highly rated. The Cathédrale Notre Dame du Congo is Kinshasa’s answer to the original Notre Dame in Paris (cementing the unique Francophone relationship between the two capitals), while the Palais de Marbre (Marble Palace), which is a former presidential home, is a stunning example of imitation French architecture (even though the DRC was a Belgian, not a French, colony).
