Itinerary
1
Minova
Important Notice: Being difficult to locate some villages on the map, the whole itinerary is here Presented in block. Thank you for understanding.
(1-2) 09.30-10.20 am,Buhimba & Mugunga:
About 15-18 kms from Goma, we are going to visit the two incredible lakes, though they remain unknown by many. The Black and Green Lakes which are both crater lakes isolated from very old Nyiragongo Eruption before 1800s. The black lake that is located in the priest’s Grand Seminaire is a small piece of water isolated by hills. Same for the Green lake but located 3 kilometres away. They have their coloration thanks to their vegetation and they are deeply linked to the Lake Kivu. Interestingly, they have rare species of fishes that you are going to discover.
(3) 10.50am-12.00 pm, Sake:
About 27kms from Goma. It actually looks more like a small city than a village though life style is still at a rudimentary level. We are going to start by visiting the colorful Sake local market and meet local people in their everyday life and activities. We may also be lucky to assist to youth games (football) or cultural activities, but this is random as we don’t often meet it. We are also going to visit a local organic plantation of fruit and vegetables, and believe us, you will agree that they are naturally delicious. Then the tour in sake will end by visiting donkeys and cows in a private farm.
(4-5) 12.30pm-4.00 pm, Bweremana & Minova:
The first is located in North Kivu Province at 40 Kms from Goma, while the second is located in South Kivu Province at 50 Kms from Goma. We are also going to participate to local activities like cooking local food, local dance, and field work in farms. This tour also offers the advantage of learning about traditional culture. A great highlight is the meeting with the Kihunde tradional dancer’s group. It’s very exciting to learn and practice this dance. In Bweremana, we are also going to visit primary schools (Miteeso and Bweremana Primary Schools), Chieftancy office of Buhunde, taste local banana and Maize beers and experience how they’re made. This may also include local fishermen visit depending on their availability. About what to see in Minova, it includes include coffee farms, orphanage visit, and cow farms where you will assist and participate in the activities of milking cow.
4.00 pm : Return Back to Goma.
