Kinshasa-Matadi travel

Postby timbuktu » Sun Jun 01, 2014 2:36 pm

Does anyone have uptodate information on travelling overland from Kinshasa to Matadi? I'm looking for times/prices/contacts for travel by plane/ bus/ private vehicle with driver.
Thanks.

Hi,

I did this route in reverse (Matadi to Kinshasa) in 2010. Taxi from Kinshasa to Matadi was $90 for the whole taxi, or $20 a seat if you're prepared to wait for it to fill up. My driver was Papa Saidi, who was very safe and friendly. Tel: 00243998997708
