The GOMA PORT : An important point for the trade between North and South Kivu. Very busy with about five ferries departure and five ferries arrivals between Goma and Bukavu. Here you get to see the old ferries and observe the trade between these two cities.
Goma Museum : famously known as the main museum of North Kivu Province, it contains all collections of masks and arts objects of around 500 tribes of the DR Congo used for different cultural ceremonies. Each holding a specific meaning and story behind. If you want to learn the original culture of Congolese ancestors, this is the place to visit.

About Goma
Goma is a city at the northern end of Lake Kivu in eastern Congo, beside the Rwandan border and below the Nyiragongo volcano.
Goma lies at about 1,500 metres beside the lake, and parts of the city are built on old lava fields from Nyiragongo. The volcano erupted in 1977, 2002 and 2021, and lava reached parts of the town in 2002. The Rwandan town of Gisenyi, also called Rubavu, lies across the border on the lake shore.
