It is like 125 km from the capital of Congo to the colonial town of Kisantu. Such a excursion could be a nice one)day escape from the tonns of garbage, noise and polluton of Kinshasa!
Rented car with a local driver is the best idea since the regular intercity transport is nonexistent…
In the year of 1900 Jesuits from Europe established in Kisantu large botanical garden – it is still open and worth to see. Entry fee 500 F: but you have to pay extra 2000 for camera and twice for video!
I also saw in Kisantu enormous catolic church – probably the largest in Congo! Made of brick really huge builging remindind me the castle! Who knows today about Kisantu church? Unfortunately it was empty and locked! There was no time to wait – our driver lost the car key and it took him two hour to breake with primitive tools the steering station of the car!
In Kinshasa I stay in Apocalypse hotel ) half way from the aitport to the city! Apocalypse starts in the evening when the mosquitos start their battle – bring your own mosquito net! I did!
