There are several restaurants and hotels from which one can get a great view of the Congo River, particularly looking from Brazzaville over to Kinshasa. Ironically there is no bridge across to connect these two big capital cities. One can watch local fishermen at work. There is a majestic bridge across the Djoue River very near where this tributary empties into the Congo. The bridge should be seen both in the day and when it is lighted at night. To the east of the city the river divides and meanders through small islands, but just to the west, one finds rocky rapids, giving the Congo both a peaceful and somewhat dangerous character.

We had the great pleasure to spend five nights as visitors to this remarkable sanctuary. It is impossible to overstate the importance of the work going on here to rescue orphaned bonobos and integrate them into successful communities. The residential facilities are beautiful, and the meals were superb. As a destination for day visitors, Lola ya Bonobo also offers a chance to observe bonobos and learn about their great importance -- not to mention the fact that the grounds are very beautiful. Anyone who has a chance to visit -- whether for a few hours or days -- should not miss it.
