The Ultimate Zongo Falls Safari Tour, DR Congo Best Tourist Attractions and Activities
The gorgeous 70m-high Zongo Falls also known as Chutes de Zongo are one of DR Congo's most spectacular sights. Getting to the viewpoints involves some hiking, but watching the water roaring over the precipice into the river below is unforgettable. The Falls of Zongo offer tourists a chance to gaze at one of the great wonders of nature in DR Congo. Whereas the falls are beautiful on their own, the scenery around them is equally amazing and will leave you wondering just how naturally beautiful the Democratic Republic of Congo is. With a drop of about 70 meters, they plummet, raising a watery dust that envelops everything and generating a deafening din. Here, there is a well-equipped tourist reception center, which clashes with the surrounding rural villages, making for a very pleasant excursion. Visit these waterfalls to escape the chaos and hustle of city life for a few days and take delight in exploring the falls or swimming below them.
The falls are about 130 km (81 mi) southeast of Kinshasa, or about a 4-hour drive. Some might call this a day trip, but it's a long 4 hours. The first half of the trip is on a relatively smooth road, but the second half is rough going. You're better off making a 2-day trip of it and with a 4x4 vehicle at that. With some negotiation, you should be able to arrange a 4x4 along with a driver for 2 days. Guided tours are also available.
Zongo Falls are set between greenery and they offer a great photo and filming opportunity. The falls are located close to Kinshasa in the Equateur province. It's a picturesque place to enjoy and relax in the lap of Mother Nature.
Activities at the Zongo Falls include walking, photography, sightseeing, sunset watching, and hiking among others. Visitors also get to enjoy the wildlife around the area such as the different bird species and mammals.
There are several accommodation facilities close to the falls including campsites or an area for setting up a tent if you are a backpacker. Among the accommodations is Mbuela Lodge which offers a lot of DR Congo compared to many different facilities, as it has a nice pool, peacocks, and great lawns staying in a hut which is perfectly acceptable but small, and services are friendly.
