Take a boat ride from Bukavu to Goma on Lake Kivu in Congo (with video)

The best way between Bukavu and Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo is on a ferry on lake Kivu. The scenic green hills along the way remind you that the area is primarily agricultural. Crops typically grown are cassava, plantain bananas and beans. One variety of bananas is primarily for making beer which is fermented in troughs carved out of tree trunks. The trip takes around 6 hours but the scenes are so diverse that you will not be bored. Check out some of the views from the trip below and watch the video from the voyage. Have a great trip !

salut @Nick-Hobgood

je suis Gloire du Congo et je suis content de voir vos publication sur ma ville Bukavu

merci

@Nick-Hobgood this must have been a really cool experience! How long did you travel in Congo?

Merci @Gloire_Congo J’ai beaucoup aimé mon temps à Bukavu. C’est la ou j’ai fait mon stage comme volontaire de Corps de la Paix en 1987 avant d’aller travailler au Bandundu pour 4 ans. Une expérience magnifique !!

HI @DanniS Yes it was very cool indeed. That time I was living in Kinshasa and had to take work trips to that area. It was one of several work assignments I had in Congo and have lived and worked there for a total of 11 years starting with my Peace Corps volunteer assignment from 1987-1991 back when it was called Zaire. I recommend visiting as the country is vibrant and people so welcoming. It does have some areas with security considerations so please do your research before you go.
