Powerful, spectacular and short; this area of East Africa is known for its tropical thunderstorms. And with these brilliant storms, we offer sunsets you will find hard to believe - so beautiful.
Just before 19.00 hrs, the sun sets over the mountains in Congo.
As you can see afternoon storms brewing over the Lukuga basin across the lake, you know what’s soon coming our way.
Often unleashed over the lake as they make their way from west to east, the sky remains littered with shreds of stormy clouds all around.
Shreds of stormy clouds fill the sky.
Then when sunsets kicks in - close to seven o’clock – the dense and humid air is lit up in a way that is close to other worldly. Sometimes even, lightening is still striking as the sun is painting the horizon!
