It's Skol's Time

In Kananga, Skol is the locally brewed beer. It is sold everywhere.

I am cheap and caution. The other beverages are Bako, mostly orange flavor; and Soda, plain-old soda water. At some places, you can find Coke, Fanta, or bottle water made by Coca Cola. A Skol sells for 1000 Congolese Francs (about $1.80). Bako and Soda is about 700-800 CF. Canned Coke products are equally expensive and smaller.

Soda, Bako, and beer are safe to drink. However, you must be careful to ensure the seal is unbroken on your bottled water. That's a favorite trick to sell plain old (non-pure) water in bottles. You may not realize it until the next day.
