Is coverage good outside the cities?

Coverage is good in Kinshasa and big cities, and can weaken sharply in forests, reserves, and remote areas. Download your maps before far-out trips.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes. Your primary SIM stays in place and keeps receiving calls and bank verification messages as usual, while your data runs over the travel eSIM.
