Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear about it.
Perhaps worth noting that DRC is not in West Africa as per the subject heading (Central Africa) and is one of the few places in Africa that I wouldn't bush camp in Africa unless strictly necessary.
Two friends of mine on motorbikes were shot at when bush camping between Kinshasa and Matadi back in about 2011. Turns out they camped right next to a major oil pipeline and those paid to guard it tend to shoot first then ask questions. Once establishing they weren't stealing anything all was fine and conversation shared.
I wonder if being near the cemetery had anything to do with it...?
