First day at our destination, we dedicated it to touring Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The city is located on the banks of the Congo River, which divides the two countries of the same name (Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of the Congo) and its two capitals: Kinshasa and Brazzaville. A day focused on having a first contact with the Sapeurs.

After breakfast, very early to avoid the terrible traffic jams of Kinshasa, we head for Kengue, one of the most important places in the world.

Overnight at Hotel Local A.D.

In Gungu we will be received by the spiritual head of the community, and together with him we will be able to attend a magical dance, a form of worship to their ancestors so that they can grant them success in their daily lives. The Pende maintain ancestor worship, whose spirits are appeased through rituals and offerings. They believe that spirits can be good or bad depending on the way they died, and they can cause harm and harm to families. To neutralize this damage it will be necessary to resort to a doctor-soothsayer – Shaman – who determines the origin of the evil and determines the best way to placate the spirit that caused it. We will spend the day living with them and photographing their customs and their daily life.

Night in Camp.

Our adventure continues and first thing in the morning, we leave for Tshikapa in the Kasai region, Tshikapa is known for being one of the cities of diamond sales and for being the starting point to the Kuba Kingdom.

Today the adventure begins, we enter the jungle of the DR Congo along a track where the abrupt vegetation will make us feel in the heart of Africa. Normally, it takes about two long days of 4×4 to reach the Kuba Kingdom on hard roads.

Night in Camp

It’s time to enter the heart of the Kuba kingdom, in Mushengue, a place of incredible landscapes, and villages that treasure the vestiges of the ancient cultures of the area. There we will have the privilege of attending the ceremony of the awakening of the spirits of the ancient Kings. A show of music, color and magic that, without a doubt, will make our pulse and our camera vibrate.

Night in Camp

Still in Mushengue, we will dedicate the day to photographing their magical dances, one of the most deeply rooted traditions of the Kuba kingdom. There will also be time to visit some of the most iconic places in the area: the tombs of the ancient kings, the sacred grove and the Kuba art museum. An interesting day in which the immersion in the Kuba culture will allow us to know and photograph their exciting way of life. Night in Camp
