Worth knowing about Brazzaville
- Maya-Maya lies in the centre of Brazzaville rather than out on the edge of it, so the transfer after landing is short by the standards of the region.
- The terminal opened in 2010 with three air bridges and a second phase finished in 2013, which is why it feels newer than the city's other infrastructure.
- One taxi trip anywhere in town is quoted at FCFA 1,000, so a driver naming a much larger number at the airport is not quoting the local rate.
- Ferries and fast private boats are the usual way across the Congo river to Kinshasa, and the crossing is the reason many travellers pass through Brazzaville at all.
