What to Expect from Expat Life in Kinshasa?
DR Congo's capital, once known as Kin la Belle (beautiful Kinshasa), is the most populated city in Africa. Once torn by conflict, this city is rising from the ashes, and is currently experiencing huge urban development —often it is this development and the requirement for aid work that draws most expats. However, Kinshasa also has much to offer as a cultural experience. Le marché des valeurs provides many artistic treasures (and experience in haggling!) and the Yacht Club in Kinshasa rents out boats for the day, allowing you to explore the Congo River on your own terms. Whatever your reason for moving to Kinshasa, our expat community can assist you in making the most of your adventure in this city.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Hong Kong or Shanghai, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

When embarking on such a challenging adventure as moving to Kinshasa, the support of a knowledgeable community is vital.

InterNations enables you to easily join as well as organize groups and activities in Kinshasa, so you can begin to develop a social group, continue practicing hobbies, and widen your circle of support.
