Kinkole Fish Market
The fish market at Kinkole was constructed by Mobutu to honour the country's fishermen as part of his 'authenticity' campaign. You can hire a priogue for US$10.00 an hour and be paddled down the Congo River, drink intoxicating palm wine on the riverbank and try some of the country's best liboke (fish stewed in manioc leaves).

Chutes de Lukia
A must-see while in Kinshasa, the Chutes de Lukia have a decent restaurant, natural lakes to swim in and a Bonobo (pygmy chimp) orphanage, where you can play with the younger chimps. Beware if you are allergic to white 4WDs and walkie-talkies - it's a favourite haunt of resident UN and aid worker staff at weekends.

Kisanto Botanical Gardens
The botanical gardens in Kisanto are worth a visit. With a collection of 100-year-old trees from all over the world, and gentle rivers in which to swim, Kisanto makes a pleasant break for travel (and world) weary souls.
