Democratic Republic of Congo Things To Do

by cosmopolit

Those days it was possible to travel from Bujumbura in Burundi up north crisscrossing borders of Zaïre, Rwanda and Uganda wich made for a trip on it's own.
Once there one certainly MUST see the Gorillas.
Once accustomed to the jungle you just dont want to leave it anymore.

	Lubumbashi "Oasis" Tip Rating:

Lubumbashi Street Cafe

by Bwana_Brown

At that time (1973), Lubumbashi was one of the major cities outside of Kinshasa. Things were a little run-down but it was a chance to experience something different. This area of Zaire contains the country's major mineral deposits so it was always a very contentious issue as to who was exerting control here. There was a foreign exchange rule that visitors had to spend at least 20 Zaires/day ($40 US) because of their need for hard cash, and that was a lot of money for a poor Volunteer! Photo of a sidewalk cafe in Lubumbashi during that particular trip.
