Zongo Falls, located approximately 130 kilometers south of Kinshasa in the western Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a prominent waterfall on the Inkisi River. With a drop of about 65 meters, the falls create a powerful cascade, generating a mist that envelops the surrounding area. The site features a well-equipped tourist reception center, offering amenities for visitors. The journey from Kinshasa to Zongo Falls typically takes around 3 to 4 hours by road, with the first half of the route being well-paved and the remainder less developed.

The road to Zongo Falls is quite unpleasant so make sure you stay at least 2 nights to make sure you enjoy the trip and can relax during your stay. The falls are beautiful and relaxing. The hotel has a variety of lodging, a nice pool, and a single restaurant. If you have any dietary restrictions, I strongly recommend bringing your own food and packing it as if you're going camping. Also, consider bringing cleaning products, shower shoes, and your own sheets.

Enjoyed Natural scenic beauty by camping river side with tracking water fall experience which is out of the world...Avoid visiting on rainy days due to muddy roads, which can lead to block vehicle tyres...

I definitely recommend visiting Zongo falls. Standing in front of the huge, remote waterfall surrounded by lush greenery, you really feel the raw power of the river. It's an amazing experience. It takes about two hours to get there from Kisantu. The road is good now, only the last part might be a but tricky with an old, small vehicle. I wouldn't take a motorcycle again in rain season, as we struggled to get back. The road can get very slippery. The park and most of its amenities are clean and quite well-kept. I really enjoyed the garden with its colorful, tropical plants. They should, however, definitely improve their service and decrease their prices. In my opinion, the food and drinks are ridiculously pricy, especially considering the service you get. Entrance to the main park is about 6 dollars but if you want to visit another part with smaller falls where you can swim, you have to pay again and transportation isn't included. As for accommodation, I personally don't think it's worth the money. The little cabins are around 120 dollars a night and a tent is 70 dollars. I'd go there early, spend the day and leave by 3/4pm.

A must visit site. The place is beyond amazing. We went to the waterfalls and the river 😍 We rented the villas it was nice but needs slight maintenance and decorations updates to feel more entertaining and up to date. You can bring your food and do a barbeque at the outdoors. The villas has mini fregdige, boiler and coffee machine. Plates and table covers are available as well.
