Itinerary
The GOMA PORT : An important point for the trade between North and South Kivu. Very busy with about five ferries departure and five ferries arrivals between Goma and Bukavu. Here you get to see the old ferries and observe the trade between these two cities.
Goma Museum : famously known as the main museum of North Kivu Province, it contains all collections of masks and arts objects of around 500 tribes of the DR Congo used for different cultural ceremonies. Each holding a specific meaning and story behind. If you want to learn the original culture of Congolese ancestors, this is the place to visit.
The monument of Tchukudu : The symbol of Goma, it attracts many lovers of photography, memories and history. Apart from documenting this monument in photos, you will get to ride the real Tshukudu, a wooden bike that can carry over a half tone of goods.
The airport street : we're going to see the abandoned airport from outside. The street, busy with local trade in bulky, commercial center, Birere, is along the airport road.
The Virunga Central Market : The heart of Goma town, you will find various categories of goods sold; clothes, electronic set, shoes, food…Here you get the local Congolese loin/Ankara/vitenge in Swahili which you can either buy for personal or business needs.
Turunga : Probably the central point. A very remote shantytown located north, safe and offering a unique experience to get up a huge rock (presumably from 1800 Nyiragongo eruption) from where you’ll have a panoramic view of Goma city (Goma international Airport traffic, Kivu Lake, The streets, and interestingly the 2002 Nyiragongo eruption lava). The same rock has a cave (with entrance fees) that gives you a 3D movie feeling.
