There are several restaurants and hotels from which one can get a great view of the Congo River, particularly looking from Brazzaville over to Kinshasa. Ironically there is no bridge across to connect these two big capital cities. One can watch local fishermen at work. There is a majestic bridge across the Djoue River very near where this tributary empties into the Congo. The bridge should be seen both in the day and when it is lighted at night. To the east of the city the river divides and meanders through small islands, but just to the west, one finds rocky rapids, giving the Congo both a peaceful and somewhat dangerous character.

We had the great pleasure to spend five nights as visitors to this remarkable sanctuary. It is impossible to overstate the importance of the work going on here to rescue orphaned bonobos and integrate them into successful communities. The residential facilities are beautiful, and the meals were superb. As a destination for day visitors, Lola ya Bonobo also offers a chance to observe bonobos and learn about their great importance -- not to mention the fact that the grounds are very beautiful. Anyone who has a chance to visit -- whether for a few hours or days -- should not miss it.

As quiet often in Kinshasa, finding the place asks a few efforts but once you are there you won't regret. This place has something unusual. Mixing Congolese history with contemporary art is allready special but bringing this jointly wth a lot of diverse activities, as there are educational lessons on ecology for schools, a sunday-brunch, each month a temporary exhibition putting one local artist in the picture, makes this place unique. On top of it, this all is for free and if you want a drink the prices are democratic. Don't forget before leaving to have a look in the small shop whose assortment is as diverse as the place.

It felt like visiting a little Eden in Kinshasa. If only I previously knew, I would of came in here time ago. To reach it, wasn't the easiest. Had to do it bikes, because the roads weren't ideal for taxis. But that made it even better, the road leading to the park was marvellous. We took a 1hr+ walk around the lac, the water was prestine, the walk path was clean, the air was clean.. It couldn't have been better. Once finished, they have a restaurant inside, the food was delicious, a bit expensive but its worth it. Last but not, entry fee 5$ for adults, 3$ for kids. A must visit place for anyone, with water sports for the young ones, you won't be disappointed.
