Points to See While in Pointe Noire

Antonio-Agosto-Neto International airport is an important airport serving Pointe Noire, a large coastal town in the DRC. The airport is also near the dense populated area and is situated close to the Pacific coast. It is situated at the south east corner of Dongo. From here it can be reached by road and train. There are two international airports in Dongo: the main airport and the regional airport, both of which have direct flights to Luanda, Kinshasa, Bossangoa, Brazzaville, Bambukkata and Mombasa.

The first thing you should do when planning a trip to Pointe Noire is to consult your travel agent to find out about international airports and other local information. You will probably find that there is a good choice of flights available depending on your itinerary, budget and preferred destination. The best time to go to Pointe Noire is between January and March; most visitors get to visit during July and August, although flights during these months may be less frequent. There are also flights available between the main airport and the town centre on days when there is no train or road traffic.

Once you have selected the best flight, it is important to decide where to stay while you are in Pointe Noire. There are some great budget hotels in Pointe Noire - most of which are located near the beach. But if you choose to stay in a more upscale hotel, such as an eight-star luxury hotel, you will have a far better chance of meeting up with people of the same language, culture and background. A Pointe noire hotel can also be an excellent base to explore the surrounding area.

Another important aspect of staying in a Pointe Noire hotel is the transport available. Most hotels have a minibus or taxi service, but the airport has its own airport bus and train station. If you are travelling to Luanda, Bambukkata or Mombasa by plane, you can opt for the train. Or you could choose to rent a car and drive yourself around the city.

There are a number of things to do in Pointe Noire before or after landing. One of the highlights of your holiday will be taking part in a visit to the magnificent ancient Khoi National Park. You will be able to view some of the world's oldest pygmy antelopes and take part in exciting safari activities including trekking, jeeping, hiking and riding on horseback.

After the Khoi National Park, you can visit the many other attractions of Pointe Noire including the beautiful beaches and the many historic buildings. There are many historical sites, museums, gardens and churches, as well as cultural and sporting venues. You can also take part in the town's festivals and other cultural events. The city is also well connected to Luanda, Kinshasa, Bossangoa, Brazzaville, Bambukkata and Mombasa by road.
