We just drove over the border in a convoy of a few cars. The further one progressed into the country the worse the roads became - but we did make it back! Photo of the main highway between Likasi and Kolwezi. This highway actually looks like what was called a 'strip' road in Zambia. In order to save money, only a single vehicle width is paved down the middle of the road. All traffic uses the paved section until they meet an on-coming vehicle (which is usually not all that often where these roads are built). The rule is that each vehicle moves to the side as they pass each other, with only one set of wheels remaining on the paved section! Hopefully the drivers know the side that they are supposed to move to!! The power lines were mainly to supply the large copper mining industry. |

kinshasa airport;the outside area is very frightening at night;everyone will tell you:no problem,there is no insecurity,but why do they insist so much?? during a war period,generally kinshasa airport is the only way for tourists to get into zaire there is a ferry-boat to brazzaville(congo) every hour |

As I mentioned, the roads tend to get a bit muddy - we were there in the less wet season. |

Air France, Kenya Airways, SN ou Ethiopian Airways Les taxis communs coûtent entre 50 et 100 Francs congolais. Le système routier est médiocre. Location de voiture avec chauffeur et essence inclus possible (varie entre 20 et 100$ US par jour). Transport en commun quasi inexistant. |

We found the most comfortable route to get to Democratic Republic from the UK was this - Fly London to Nairobi then overnight in Nairobi for a bit of RnR. Fly Nairobi to Kigali in Rwanda then drive across Rwanda, which is a very small country, to the border with Democratic Republic of Congo. Drive to Bukavu. We had pre-booked drivers from Kigali airport to the border then from the DCR border our guide met us and drove us to Bukavu. |
