Bougainvilla is an established and very popular South African guesthouse, restaurant and bar – well-known between locals and expats as a home from home in the heart of Lubumbashi. The Bartz family came to the DRC in 2003, and settled in Lubumbashi. Their first business was importing good quality meat products into the country which evolved into guesthouses and eventually Bougainvilla since 2007.

You will be ideally situated in town and be catered for in all your needs. Best of all – we speak your language! You will enjoy life at Bougainvilla, not just living it.
