Goma Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Jambo, I just returned from an incredibly challenging journey to. The last thing the DRC needs is more sensationalism, so I want to choose my words carefully and deliberately. I have come away with far more questions, confusion and determination than when I entered. I get so frustrated at the state of our world sometimes-why a country blessed wi...

Whilst I was in Rwanda I deciced to pop over to Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I had been planning on going whilst in Rwanda and want to check out the security of the country before I went. I meet 3 American girls who were quite keen on the idea and we reserched the security system and although every government website told us not to ...

Went into Goma which had recently (2002 i think ) been burried in about a metre of lava, wasnt much to ee or do in the town although was well worht the visit. Also didnt appear as dangerous as everyone told me it would be

Well it is Sunday in Goma and I we held our services at the new Cross Style church in Bukovu where the Skills Training Center is located.

Of course as in most of Africa, worship is a large part of the service in Congo and we spent about an hour or more just singing and dancing (don't worry, they danced, I just wat...

I left Kigali heading for the Rwandan border town of Gisenyi by express 'luxury' bus. It took about three hours over very winding roads, but the views were just spectacular. Perfect lush, green terraced hills. It's easy to see why they call Rwanda the land of a thousand hills. When I arrived at the bus stop in Gisenyi it took the bus company a r...

Ok, if any of you have actually been reading this blog thing, then you might remember my last volcano experience. It did not go well, with yours truly being reduced to a simpering wreck of a man, cowering on the side of a nasty volcano in northern Tanzania. After that experience I figured I had enough. I mean, how many volcanoes does a person re...
