Mount Mangengenge, Mountain summit near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Mount Mangengenge rises 718 meters above sea level, standing as part of the Crystal Mountains range southeast of Kinshasa and south of Ndjili International Airport.
Carl Anton Mense completed the first European ascent of Mount Mangengenge in June 1885, leading to the mountain being called 'pic Mense' for nearly a century.
The mountain's name derives from the Lingala word 'kongenge' meaning 'shining', and it was previously known as Mabangu or Manguele by local communities.
Access to Mount Mangengenge requires following tracks from the parish of Sainte Angèle de Mérici, with paths marked by crucifix sculptures leading to the summit.
World Cleanup Day participants initiated regular waste collection efforts in September 2019, scheduling two to three annual cleanups to maintain the mountain environment.
