Eagles Apartments · Goma, DR Congo
A city between fire and water
Goma lies on the northern shore of Lake Kivu, beneath the Virunga volcanoes. Here is a little of what makes it special.
Lake Kivu
One of Africa’s Great Lakes, shared by the DR Congo and Rwanda — deep, calm and dotted with green islands such as Idjwi.
Nyiragongo
The volcano that watches over Goma, famous for the lava lake in its crater. On clear nights its glow colours the sky to the north.
The fishermen’s songs
At dusk, fishermen paddle out in trimaran canoes, singing in rhythm, then fish for sambaza under lanterns that dot the lake through the night.
Virunga National Park
Africa’s oldest national park lies just north of the city — home to mountain gorillas and spectacular volcanic landscapes.
Gisenyi & Rwanda
Goma neighbours Gisenyi (Rubavu), Rwanda, across the border — lakeside promenades and beaches within easy reach.
