Kintélé is a town in the north-eastern suburbs of Brazzaville established as a commune in 2017[3] and located in southern Republic of Congo in the Ignié District of the Pool Department.
Kintélé is bordered to the west by the Djiri river and to the south and east by the Congo River.
It is connected to Brazzaville by the Talangaï-Kintélé viaduct (almost 7 km long) which overlooks the major bed of the Congo.
The most remarkable equipments are the Kintélé Sports Complex (built for the 2015 African Games[4]) and the Denis Sassou Nguesso University (DSNU) opened in February 2021.
