  • I was on Jambojet's very first flight to Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, right on the border with Rwanda. We stayed at Goma Serena Hotel, which is the only five star hotel in Goma, spotted the popular chukudu bikes, went horse riding at Masisi Mountain Lodge, had a driving tour of Goma City and much more. Enjoy this Congo Travel Vlog!

    Thank you for visiting my beautiful congo Kinshasa 🇨🇩❤💪🏾 I love goma too but im from kinshasa
    And yes it the while people mind they come to congo and film people in rural areas lile village far village and portraite that as congo and tell people not to visit because we are poor even though we are the richest country in the world and africa makes no sense.
    But if your country is behind blame all our previous leaders that sold our countries and minerals to foreigner and our neighboring country like rwanda that keep sending it troops in east congo so to kill our man and women so they can get our minerals and bring it to rwanda to build their country and city kigali 🤦‍♀️
    Anyways thanks for taking the time to see congo and don't believe what other say you are welcome to come visit is anytime my kenyan sister ❤🇨🇩💪🏾
