About me
Travelling as a family from Kinshasa to Muanda (and beyond)
I'm Chris, dad of three and passionate about family travel. In 2024, we did Kinshasa–Muanda in 8 days with the kids, without any reliable info online.
On this blog, I share our experiences, detailed itineraries and, above all, reliable contacts in Congo (drivers, accommodation, activities) to help you plan your own trip safely.
