Very nice experience, lots of knowledge and everything is well explained, we see many similarities with several countries in Central Africa, such as the east, south, west, North West Cameroon etc., Equatorial Guinea etc. I appreciate the fact that the drivers there also participate in the knowledge of the tourist places. The ideal in this region is that there is a lot to visit in half a day, you can all visit, let's contribute to sharing our resources, history I recommend this place go several times is a plus, thank you to the tourist guide, conservative places very very clean.access by car is not difficult a few meters you have taxis present to take you to pointe noire where the small surrounding villages.

Very important museum. It is full of information on the kingdom of Loango and particularly the city of Pointe Noire. Located in the neighboring province of Kouilou. The route is a few dozen kilometers with a bit of morning traffic of course.

M. Joseph KIMFOKO MADOUNGOU, the Conservateur en Chef du Musée de Diosso, has done an excellent job curating this jewel of a museum nestled not far from scenic gorges. He has a vast knowledge of the history of Congo and specifically the Loango area. He will give a fascinating personally guided tour of each exhibit. Entrance fee is 2000Fr per person, which is well worth it. A printed guidebook is available for sale for 5000Fr. Open Tuesday-Sunday (closed Mondays) but it’s suggested to call ahead for an appointment to make sure it’s open and ready to receive visitors. (+242 06 988 2151, or +242 05 533 6816) Artifacts and photos and maps and diagrams help explain culture, traditions, and history including the kingdoms pre-colonialism and slavery. Less than an hour drive from Pointe Noire; highly recommend a visit!
