Bombo Lumene lies directly on the N1 to Kikwit at about 100km from Kinshasa. After driving past Ndjili International Airport, continue driving on the N1 for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes until you cross the Pont Mai-Ndombe. From the Mai-Ndombe bridge it is another 15 minute drive before reaching the reserve’s main entrance. The drive time from downtown Kinshasa until the reserve’s entrance usually takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
