I spent 10 days in the Congo in July with my husband, who was working for the Jane Goodall Institute. We travelled around the Congo, but sadly only had two nights at the wonderful Malonda Lodge. Compared to the other hotels we had either stayed in or seen this was beyond compare! Half an hour south of Pointe Noire; don't... More

We had an excellent stay at Malonda. The staff was very, very courteous, including the owners Grace and Gerard. The view was always breathtaking. The rooms were very clean and comfortable.

It's run by an Angolan lady of Portuguese descent and her French husband who have lived all over the world and have a lot of... More
