Congo River Overnight Tour
Includes everything in our Congo River full day tour and also includes a stay at a relaxing riverside safari camp with full bar and restaurant and an amazing overlook of the Congo River Rapids and twin capitals, the favorite of expats and weekenders from Brazzaville and far away from the bustle and hustle.
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. Witness the thriving home of thousands of fish and birdlife, all colorful! 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 (Malebo Pool.)
Overnight at Faignond village overlooking the Congo River, with barbeques on the beach! The next morning explore more remote river villages and tribes on the banks of the river further north rimming the coast of the R.O.C., deeper into the interior of the Congo rainforest, and return in the morning next day by lunch.

“Hi Seen,We very much enjoyed our tours with your team. They did an excellent job taking care of us at every venue and in every way, not to mention how well they responded to our requests for changes in the itinerary as we went along. The entire week was a fascinating experience, especially between destinations, when we were able to get out into the streets, markets and communities and see “real life”. Our guide Erneste did a superb job during every one of those “detours” and made us feel quite comfortable no matter where we were.The major highlights of the week for us were exploring the amazing little ecosystem that has evolved under the spray and mist on the cliffs facing the Zongo Falls, visiting the arboretum and botanical gardens at Kisantu (we skipped the caves at Mbanza Ngungu that day and spent all our time there instead!), and walking through some of the small villages to meet the people and learn how mbika and cassava are made.You were actually recommended to me by an acquaintance at the US Embassy in Kinshasa, and I would happily recommend your tours to my friends, as well. I felt that there was an amazing level of personal service throughout the entire process, from your quick response to my questions during the booking process right through “goodbyes” with our team on the last day. We could not have asked for a better experience."
