Come and discover the rich culture, sensational wildlife and natural beauty of Bunia, a city in the Ituri province of Congo (Kinshasa). In this trip, we'll let you experience the heart of Africa in just three days. From the bustling marketplace to the serene local parks, we guarantee a unique adventure you'll never forget.
Day 1 - Stepping into Bunia
Gear up for an immersive start as your first day in Bunia begins! We will kickstart our journey with a visit to the bustling Bunia Central Market. This place gives a whole new meaning to the saying ‘shop till you drop,' right? You'll get to feel the city's pulsating energy as you explore its different stalls offering everything from local produce to handmade crafts. If haggling your way through a market isn't a real introduction to a country's culture, what is? After the market, it's time to enjoy a bite at one of the local restaurants. Heard of liboke ya mbika? It's a tantalizing traditional Congolese dish that you simply must try. As the day winds down, we’ll head to Ituri Forest for a tranquil nature walk. Can you imagine ending your day by savoring the forest's subtle, earthy smell and listening to the vibrant wildlife rustling in the undergrowth? Just magical!
Day 2 - The Call of the Wild
On the second day, embrace your adventurous spirit as we make our way to the Okapi Wildlife Reserve. I hope you've brought your binoculars because you're going to need them! Here, you'll get to catch sight of the elusive Okapi, a unique animal that looks like a cross between a zebra and a giraffe. Isn't that a sight for sore eyes? In addition, the reserve is home to a variety of different bird species, making it a haven for bird watching enthusiasts. Post this wild adventure, it's time to turn the heat up with a traditional Congolese dance session at a local community center. How about showing off your dance skills or perhaps learning a few new moves to impress your friends back home?
Day 3 - A Sneak Peek into History
On the last day, get ready for a trip back in time as we visit the Museum of Ethnology where you can delve into Bunia's exciting past. Various ancient artifacts and interesting exhibits tell the story of Bunia's colorful history and rich cultural heritage. Isn't it intriguing how much one can learn about a civilization through its art and craft? By lunchtime, we'll be heading to a local dining hotspot, ready to indulge in some more delicious Congolese delicacies. And then, how about we conclude our trip with a leisurely boat ride on Lake Albert? As the soft evening light dances on the water, you will have a serene finale to your three-day exploration of Bunia. Doesn't that sound like perfection?
