Gombe, Administrative district in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Gombe extends over 29 square kilometers within Kinshasa, containing government buildings, diplomatic missions, and residential neighborhoods for international professionals.

The district emerged from the former Kalina area, which developed after the completion of the Matadi-Kinshasa Railway in 1898.

The region integrates European architectural elements with Congolese urban planning, reflecting the presence of both international and local populations.

Several educational institutions operate in Gombe, including Lycée Français René Descartes and Lycée Prince de Liège for international students.

According to research conducted in 2014, Gombe ranked as the most expensive residential area across the entire African continent.
