Hotels near Kinshasa

Friendly people around Ate at the function venue Not easy to get around alone, always needing language translators Did not like the airport physical searches and maybe they can consider automating the airport processes. Physical searches are a NO NO

I liked the bubbly atmosphere of Kinshasa Les “KINOIS” are very helpful What I did not like was the endless TRAFFIC JAMS! Almost diabolical! I was in heaven while I was within my hotel and in hell when I decided to venture outside! I mean You cannot move easily. It took us 2hours to reach Kitambo From boulevard du 30 juin. Take heavy traffic away, and Kinshasa is a gem plus, there Is dirt in the same boulevard, there is no pedestrian crossing like in Europe (a real challenge when crossing) A lot to be done regarding cleanliness I mean this The capital city?

I've been to the capitals of 179 countries. Kinshasa is the ugliest, dirtiest, most corrupt city I've ever visited. If you're a mzungu, you can count on rude treatment and people -- especially police and local officials -- to take advantage of you. Spend your time in Kigali, Kampala, Joburg, Capetown, Nairobi, Mombasa or Dar Es Salaam. Avoid Kinshasa at all costs. The photos I've posted here are from the nicest part of town.

My favourite restaurant was Limoncello. Nice vibe and good food. I also went to eat typical Congolese food at Taboo. Service is very slow but good food. It is not very easy to move around Kinshasa. Traffic is a nightmare.

Kinshasa is à big city but lacks good transport, and there is a lot of traffic almost at each angle and this lets navigating through the city not good. The Congo River nice to see, but not accessible.
