Awesome TR, enjoyed every bit of it
Stopping for a break on the way to Ruhengeri
Interesting how this town is a compulsory stop for every coaster and safari vehicle
Some delicious fish & yoghurt stew, beans, potatoes and rice for lunch.
Humm, it really looks like peanut sauce...
Virunga is Africa's oldest nation park and is home to nearly a third of the world’s roughly 900 remaining mountain gorillas.
Too bad eventual future oil exploration could threaten the gorilla habitat in the Virunga
There are mountain gorillas in Rwanda (permit fee = $750) and Uganda (permit fee = $600), but they attract many more tourists (up to 80 per day in Rwanda versus only 7 for DRC on my day) and are much less wild
Do you remenber which group of Gorilla you visited?
For the story in Rwanda, back in February, a "drunk" gorilla punched a photographer...
These wooden bikes were quite common in Goma
Indeed and they are called tshukudu.
when the clouds had cleared and got an amazing view of the starry sky over Goma.
Wow beautiful picture being probably my favorite, well done!
Blood spatters and bullet holes were visible on the walls and roof.
When i was there in 2013 i was denied taking photos, glad to see the policy has changed
Many thanks for sharing
