Lush jungles with most amazing Gorillas living there.
Misty mornigs in the mountains in out of this world peace. Someone said you feel closer to god. I just felt being part of the whole.

I was eating a nice pizza in a restaurant at the intercontinental hotel in kinshasa;my table was very near a little street at the back of the hotel;musicians were playing jazz,nice atmosphere;suddenly,3 military trucks full of soldiers appeared in the little street,and we heard a machine-gun beginning to shoot at them!
this would not happen in monte-carlo where I live;in monaco,streets are not full of soldiers,they are full of dog -excrements!!!

There is no specific restaurant to take you to in Zaire. Since I was born there and my whole family comes from Zaire and that you are my guest, why not take you home with me instead of going to a restaurant. HOme cooked food is the best.
and when in Zaire, especially on the eastern side, one must try Nyama choma!!!! its roast goat meat, with a lot of seasoning , it is absolutely heaven!!!!!!!
what I miss most when I am away from home, is the people. My people are the best in world (of course everybody thinks that about their people). I miss the lake, ( I come from the Kivu region) and, last but not least the DANCING!!!!! oh la la. La dance Africaine, escpecially Soukous....man it's amazing what a female can do with her waist!!!!!

Go and see the Okapis and also the silverback mountain gorillas - if you can.
Finally coming across the gorillas after 9 hours of searching. Seeing a volcano explode and being able to hike across the solidified lava to a nearby (but safe) point to watch the spectacular sight. Leave a Comment

All the natives I met were extremely friendly, and bent over backwards to accomodate my every need, but the language barrier can be a bit of a bother, as about 60% can understand and communicate in French or Swahili, but almost none can use English

It is not nessecary to come to Kinshasa for your visa to zambia. You can avoid this lovely city and head strait to the border at Lumboubashi. This information is only useful to those unlucky ones that connot get the visa at the border Leave a Comment

When Mobutu was in power, one must absolutely LEAVE! I hope things are better now. Leave a Comment
