Editorial snapshot
Flying to Kinshasa suits the purposeful traveller: the business visitor, the diaspora returnee, the journalist, the researcher, or the adventurer who knows what they're looking for. Book at least eight weeks out for the best fares. Connections through Brussels or Addis Ababa are the most reliable. The city itself is loud, fast, and genuinely unlike anywhere else on the continent.
