After breakfast, you will have an enjoyable speed-boat trip to Gisenyi. The trip is not only an encounter with local people; fishermen, fishing villages but also with the residents of Idjwi Island (Congo) who are rowing long distances in their dugout canoes to visit the Rwandan markets. You will be picked up in Gisenyi for lunch and if time/security allows, we make arrangements to cross the border to Goma (Optional -Congo visa is $30 and you will need to pay for a re-entry visa into Rwanda). Goma was devastated by the eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano. The visit shows the fantastic capabilities of the local population to overcome this natural catastrophe! We drive to Ruhengeri and Kinigi for an overnight at your hotel. Overnight at Mountain Gorilla View or Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge (BLD).
