Those days it was possible to travel from Bujumbura in Burundi up north crisscrossing borders of Zaïre, Rwanda and Uganda wich made for a trip on it's own.
Once there one certainly MUST see the Gorillas.
Once accustomed to the jungle you just dont want to leave it anymore. Leave a Comment Directions: Kalehe on Lake Kivu, Karisimbi, Luofu, Lake Edward Butembo,Kisangani

At that time (1973), Lubumbashi was one of the major cities outside of Kinshasa. Things were a little run-down but it was a chance to experience something different. This area of Zaire contains the country's major mineral deposits so it was always a very contentious issue as to who was exerting control here. There was a foreign exchange rule that visitors had to spend at least 20 Zaires/day ($40 US) because of their need for hard cash, and that was a lot of money for a poor Volunteer!

Tilapia is the fish caught in the local lake Kivu, near Bukavu. At the time of our visit, it was plentiful and if cooked well is extremely tasty. Fried with some spices we found to be best.
Often it was served with Cassava, the staple root vegetable of the area which is quite stodgy and doesn't have much taste but provides you with some carbs. If the tilapia is a good one you can manage the cassava!
Local vegetables were extremely good - carrots and green beans particularly.
