KINSHASA MY CAPITAL CITY

THINGS TO DO IN KINSHASA

LA VILLE DE KINSHASA
Before kinshasa used to be called "Kinshasa La Belle" meaning "Beautiful Kinshasa".
Kinshasa suffered greatly due to mass corruption, nepotism and the civil war that led to his downfall. Nevertheless, it is still a major cultural and intellectual center in the great lakes. Contrary to what many are saying about kin. I can tell u that "slowly and surely, Kinshasa is regaining its Beauty since 2003, The year wich marked the end of the war wich oposed the gouvernement against rebels backed by Rwandeses and Ugandeses troops.

SOME MAJOR TOURISTIC SITES INSIDE AND AROUND KINSHASA

1 Grand Marche,
2 The tomb of former President Laurent Kabila
3 The "Academie des Beaux Arts" (Art - Culture - History)
4 Kinsuka for those who like african art.
5 Site touristic de Bombo lumene (picnic)....
6 Kinkole ( Take a tour by boat, with a picnic on the banks of the Congo
river, out of the fishermen's village of Kinkol?.)....

CONGO RIVER

Kinshasa is separeted with Brazaville by the congo river.

Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo can be seen on the other side of the river, from kinshasa

A cruise on the Congo River in a motorised wooden boat from Kinshasa to kisangani or from Kisangani to Kinshasa promises great of experiences, like meeting the local fishermen,pygmies, who live on floating villages. DONT MISS THIS
