Lubumbashi is a bustling smaller city. The city centre is laid out in a grid fashion. There is a lot of litter and crazy driving, but people are friendly and it feels safe and lively. Might be a bit tricky to communicate if you don't speak French. You can get around using taxis (which you just stop in the street) or motorbike taxis. Hotels and restaurants seem a bit pricey for what you get. Lubumbashi is a destination for mining and to some extent for education (there are a few universities, etc.). It's not really a tourist destination, but it has a nice museum. Most people visit there for work-related purposes. The airport is pretty bad (lots of strange fees/fines you supposedly need to pay, nowhere to sit unless you pay), but you can mostly get out of paying them, except for the $55 dollar exit visa.
