You cannot visit Goma and not experience its outskirts that is dotted with pristine wilderness, palatial rolling hills with its resilient inhabitants that are part of an ideal destination after a neck-breaking road trip to Masisi territory, Nord Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The road trip, an expedition to the ‘small Swiss Alps’, says James Nzaywala, Manager Goma Serena Hotel, is courtesy of the hotel, Jambojet and Malaika Lodge.
