Kino Congo mobile app
The Kino Congo app is now available directly on your phone, without going through the App Store or Play Store. It is a PWA (Progressive Web App): an app installed from your browser in seconds. Once installed, it opens full-screen without an address bar, behaves like a native app, and works even on a slow connection. No download, no subscription — it updates itself on every visit.
Open kinocongo.com in Safari. Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up), then choose 'Add to Home Screen'. Confirm by tapping 'Add'. The app appears on your home screen and opens without an address bar. This only works in Safari — not Chrome or Firefox on iOS.
Open kinocongo.com in Chrome. Tap the button below or, if the banner does not appear, tap the three dots in the top right and choose 'Install app'. The app installs in seconds and opens full-screen, without an address bar.

Activities covers the places people go to relax, eat, drink and have fun in Kinshasa and the DRC: Congo River beaches, leisure parks, open-air bars, restaurants with a view. It is the city experienced from the inside, without needing to plan an expedition.
Tourism covers what you visit rather than what you do: landmark buildings in central Kinshasa, museums, historic sites, cultural centres and architectural works. It is the DRC you observe, whose history you understand and whose cultural richness you discover.
Experience is adventure and nature: wildlife sanctuaries, botanical gardens, safaris, caves, nature reserves and lodges. Some places are 20 minutes from Kinshasa, others are several hours by road. All require a real effort — not just a day out, but a proper departure.
Everything related to the Congolese economy, training opportunities and initiatives driving change in the DRC — without fitting neatly into tourism or leisure.
