Discover KINSHASA
Kinshasa, the impetuous capital where the heart of the entire Congo beats. An urban culture that is the result of the internal intermingling of the country's peoples. Vitality, audacity and perpetual energy characterize "Kin" and its 16 million inhabitants, making it a resolutely atypical city on the continent. Kin's reputation as a party town is well established... Just like its inhabitants, who may be inveterate party-goers, but whose daily lives are sometimes far less pleasant. The festive corridors are a succession of bars that are well worth the detour through the nights of Kinshasa. Kinshasa is central to the start of any high-level activity or contact in the DRC. The commune of Gombe is the administrative and business center of Kinshasa. In a malewa, take the time to enjoy a cold beer or some grilled fish, before setting out on your assault on the city.
