Visiting advice/ recommendations please

I'm 23 from the UK and have been absolutely fascinated with the DRC and wanted to visit since I was 16.

I studied the history of resource extraction (rubber, ivory, cobalt) from Congo for my high school diploma, and wrote about human trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) in the early 20th century Congo for my university dissertation.

I know the East of the country isn't sensible to visit right now but hopefully some day I would like to visit Lubumbashi.

If anyone knows of any international jobs/volunteering/tours/travel opportunities in and around Kinshasa and especially travelling up the river I would be incredibly grateful. My french isn't very good so I don't think it would be sensible to visit without a guide or as part of a group.

Also allez les Léopards!
