The Brazzaville Zoo is a zoo located in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. It has been in existence since at least 1944, as this is the most widely accepted date of assembly. They are known to be a very unsanitary zoo, and have extremely low animal rights ratings, although this is common across zoos in Africa. They house a number of species including crocodiles, deer, bongos, foxes, leopards, reptiles and numerous primates including chimpanzees and gorillas and (Old World monkeys. During the Congolese Civil War, many animals were evacuated from the zoo to numerous zoos, sanctuaries, and preserves across Central Africa.
Built by Roger Erell, 1949, one of the most beautiful modern churches in the world.
This is almost like a 'See' listing because you can get pretty wonderful views of Kinshasa across the Congo as well as the new Pont du 15 Août 1960 (Bridge of August 15, 1960), which was opened in 2016, as you are walking along the banks of the river here. This is probably the best place to go walking in fact in Brazzaville, just be careful at night.
Facilities include 10 clay courts with lights, a squash court, a swimming pool, and a large bar. Balls are supplied free. This club is on the dirt road next to the road leading to the National Stadium.
The club has a well-kept, nine-hole course (which by clever use of tees converts into an 18-hole course) with sand greens. It is on the grounds of the regional headquarters of the WHO, 20 minutes south from Brazzaville, and has a spectacular view of the Congo River and the rapids.
