Sunset is one of the best-maintained leisure sites in Kinshasa. Open since July 2022, it sits at 18/32, Avenue Kutu, in the Kinsuka-Pêcheur neighbourhood, commune of Ngaliema — 16 km from the centre, with a direct view over the Congo River. The infinity pool facing the river is what draws people first, but the whole site is well kept.
What you'll find
An infinity pool overlooking the Congo River and a separate pool for children. A convivial terrace with a sandpit and supervised activities for younger visitors. A restaurant specialising in Congolese cuisine. A multipurpose hall upstairs for private events. Concerts take place on site at weekends. In dry season, a riverside beach is accessible.
When to go
Open Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 to 20:00, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 21:00. Closed on Mondays. In dry season (May to October), the riverside beach is accessible alongside the pool.
Kino Congo tip
For sunsets over the Congo River, Sunset is one of the best addresses in Kinshasa — the infinity pool facing the water in late afternoon offers a rare panorama. Arrive before 17:00 at weekends to secure a good spot.
Pair it with
In the same commune of Ngaliema: Symphonies Naturelles for a morning in primary forest, Sunset for the afternoon by the pool. Mfuti Plage is 15 km further in the same direction — a wild beach on the riverbank.
