Zongo Falls Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Not to be confused with Zongo, a city in the Congo Basin.

    Zongo Falls (French: Chutes de Zongo) is a roaring 65-metre (213 ft) waterfall on the Inkisi River in the western Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

    Get in

    Zongo Falls

    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 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 for around US$500 in Kinshasa. Guided tours are also offered by several companies in Kinshasa.

    Fees and permits

    [edit]

    As of 2018, entrance costs US$5.80 per person. Bring exact change and make sure the notes are crisp. Also expect the standard DRC "additional fees" along the way.

    Get around

    [edit]

    You'll need to hike a bit to get to the waterfall viewpoint.
