contact David Lappies at Cyclelab in PTA, he has lots of experience of riding in the DRC. In most cases they leave the Muzungo alone to his own crazy ways.

Dude, I have worked all over Africa and I am telling you to forget it. Save yourself a pile of frustrasion and green us dollars and leave the bike at home. No border official is as nice as you would like them to be.

 

Rather borrow someones swartdikwiel and cruise around. Or buy a cheap Chinese bike there. It will be cheaper. Or start running
