Fish, hike, or paddle a boat across calm scenic water at Lac Ma Vallée, a pleasant man-made lake surrounded by the equatorial forest. Well-maintained trails amidst lush greenery provide easy hikes and scenic views, while thatched huts along the shore serve up grilled tilapia fish and drinks. With clean public restrooms and other amenities, this family-friendly area remains a very popular tourist and picnicking spot. Wear long pants due to insects and note that swimming in the lake is forbidden. Make Lac Ma Vallée part of your personalized Kinshasa itinerary using our Kinshasa vacation planning app.

Really nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Kinshasa. The drive is about 1 hour from the city. The entry fee is 5 USD and the walk all around the lake is really worth it. Didn't try the food at the restaurant but it looked nice and clean with a good variety in the menu. Would definitely be back

The Lac Ma Vallée is really beautiful. A visit of Kinshasa is incomplete without a few hours at the Lac Ma Vallée!
