Diamond mining is big in the area around Mbuji Mayi. We can find many diamond traders inside the city center and just outside the city there are many open pits where people are searching for diamonds. The safety conditions of these mines are very poor and the equipment and installations are very basic. For this tour we will go in a comfortable 4x4 with armed security to go visit the mines. We will see how they go in the ground with their torches and go look for diamonds. After our visit we will then go to a nice area near the river to relax and have a drink
Have a look at some of our videos from our last trip:
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"
