Kinshasa

Kinshasa is a city that you visit if you know people there. If you are a tourist, people will often try to take advantage of you. You have to be ready to negotiate, and not afraid to say NO. I have lived there most of my life as an expat and know for a fact that it’s better to use a car than public transports. Taxis are somewhat safe as well as Yango, the local “Uber”. Just be sure to negotiate the price before getting in to avoid misunderstandings.
