Congo River Full Day Tour and Picnic on River Island

Ride a pirogue for an amazing and timeless adventure into Africa’s most famous river. Gaze at monstrous Kinshasa and the countless ships, villages, and local fishermen as you go further up toward the islands and villages north of the rivertowns. See farmers tilling the riverside and going about their daily lives. See the DRC’s nearby river villages and markets, and communities on the enormous island in the river north of the Congo Pool.

BBQ Picnic Lunch in the middle of the river, in a private sand island or at Faignond village overlooking Congo River Rapids!

The tour includes a scenic picnic on the river, in the middle of the Malebo Pool (the swell of the Congo River upstream from Kinshasa and Brazzaville, that concentrates its greatest flow) for you and your friends to enjoy. (An essential memory of your visit, and the best activity for any weekend!)

What we liked about CTT was...

-Ability to customize a trip based on our availability.

-Chris and Sasha (English Speaking Staff) accompanying us on our trip

-Travel to and from Conkouati-Douli NP was done in a Toyota Landcruiser with an experienced driver Serge. After the rains, driving on unpaved roads was difficult and our car proved that it was made to handle this type of surface while other cars were stuck in the mud.

-The activities like Chimpanzee visits, boat ride (from the national park) to the beach, kayaking, and meals at a local village"
