Kisangani Known in colonial times as Stanleyville, after the explorer Henry M. Stanley, Kisangani is now a town of decaying beauty. The Belgians left some colonial buildings worth looking at but they are not in good shape. Due to the climate decay goes pretty fast here. Kisingani is more than 1000 km from Kinshasa. It used to be possible to go by river boat over the Congo river. For some background info on Kisangain you can read "A Bend in the River" by V.S. Naipaul. Great reading.
