THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

Bas Congo Tour

Zongo falls

This worth a stop. The winding waterway crashes down about 60m in spectacular fashion, creating a cauldron of steam mist between two sheer cliffsidescovered in foliage. The water eventually finds its way to the Congo River. A hydro electric dam is further downstream and provides some power for the region.

Matadi

A great place to begin one's visit to Matadi is the top point belvedere to the west of the town centre. It is the highest spot in the city with wonderful views. Around Matadi you will see the rock of Diego Cao marking the furthest point of the Portuguese explorer during the maiden voyage of Europeans to the Congo River in 1485. Also we have some fishermen's caves with excellent pastoral views of the river. At 12km east of Matadi is the village of Pala Bala , where the first protestant church of the region was built. Follow Matadi's road north and you will arrive at several sets of rapids, first the Yelela rapids roughly 15km outside the town. Further north is the Inga dam.

Muanda

in this city we have the mangrove park that has hypos, crocodiles and several species of snakes.
