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

    “In July 2015 I made a trip of almost three weeks in DR Congo. John Katumba from CTT (CT) was my guide. First we visited Kinshasa and the surrounding area including the bonobo sanctuary and the Zongo Falls. Then we flew to Mbandaka for a week-long trip in the deep jungle. We visited a number of Pygmy villages, by pirogue. Unique experience. Finally, we flew to Lubumbashi where we visited the Lofoi Falls and the mining area around Likasi. All in all it was a fascinating journey. DR Congo is not the easiest country to travel. All the time John took great care of me, paying attention to my health and safety. Also in situations where things turn out differently from what was planned or anticipated, John came up with a good alternative. In one word, John is a very professional guide. I warmly recommend him."
