Hiking Through Rural Village & $10 African Massage ????Gisenyi Rwanda VLOG
Hiking Through Village & $10 East African Massage! Gisenyi Rwanda Vlog | On The Go With Glo
Welcome back guys! In this episode we're going hiking through a local village for incredible views of Lake Kivu & Goma! Next we head to Nyamyumba Hot Springs for a $10 Massage!
The trail I took is called the Rubona Hill Trail located near the Braisserie in Gisenyi, Rwanda. I booked the tour with Rwandan Adventures ( and if I remember correctly it cost me $40 USD but they accepted rwf as well. The trail takes you through a steep climb through the local village to the top of the hill with gorgeous views of Lake Kivu on one side and Goma on the other side. This is considered an easy to moderate hike depending on your fitness level. For me it was challenging but my guide Albert was very patient and I would absolutely do it again and feel more confident the second time around!! ????????
The Hot Springs was not included in my tour so it was an additional cost. I paid about 1,000 Rwf ($1) for the boat ride to and from, 1000 rwf for entry and 10,000 ($10) for the massage. *Note you do not have to get a massage if you don't want to, just make it clear when someone asks you that you do not want one. No complaints here though because after a long day of hiking, I welcomed the massage and yes my feet felt smooth! ????
All in all it was a super fun and memorable day!

Welcome to Kigali, Rwanda! Kigali is an amazing city, so clean and organized, and it was a joy to have a chance to walk around, eat, and explore the city. In this video, along with the help of Georgie and Makeda, we’re taking you on an amazing Rwandan food tour of Kigali!
La Gardienne Supermarket - We started off at La Gardienne Supermarket, a small supermarket known for preparing some of the best samosas in all of Kigali. They were delicious, especially the meat samosa. Samosas are very common throughout East Africa because of the Indian and Arabian influence.
Green Corner - Next we went to a restaurant in Kigali called Green Corner, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Kigali. They specialized in grilled meats, especially grilled fish - giant freshwater tilapia. The fish was the highlight of the meal, but the grilled chicken was also pretty amazing. A great restaurant to eat Rwandan food.
Total price - 50,000 RWF ($57.10)
Piano Bar - Next we went to a local restaurant called Piano Bar, not far from Green Corner, to eat one main dish: Akabenz - A Rwandan food known to be the Mercedes Benz of meat! It’s a Rwandan pork dish, fried with onions and served with chili. It’s pretty amazing, and if you enjoy pork, you don’t want to miss it when you’re in Kigali, Rwanda.
Total price - 10,700 RWF ($12.22)
Resto Bamako - Next we went to a restaurant serving Malian food, but also Rwandan food. Their pilau rice and especially their isombe (cassava leaves) were fantastic.
Total price - 4,000 RWF ($4.57)
Chap Chap Food - One of the last food stops was Chap Chap Bar, a small Rwandan local fast food restaurant serving all sorts of snacks. We enjoyed a Rolex, which is actually a Ugandan chapati topped with an egg.
Total price - 4,500 RWF ($5.14)
Ikivuguto - Finally to end the main part of this Rwandan food tour, we couldn't not stop at a milk bar. We had a beverage called Ikivuguto, a fermented milk drink, kind of like thin yoghurt.
Chez Lando - Although it was the next day, I couldn’t have a Rwandan food tour without trying some brochettes, which is one of the national foods of Rwanda.
Total price - 5,100 RWF ($5.82)
Again, huge thank you to Georgie and Makeda for taking me around!

In the final episode of my Gisenyi series, we visit the Batwa community and cooperative in Gisenyi. This tribe used to live in the forest and is now being supported by the Rwandan government. They are supporting themselves through pottery making and sharing their culture through tourism. I was given the warmest welcome with song and traditional dancing. Then I was given a lesson on how they make their famed pottery! Honestly this experience touched my heart! I was blown away by their kindness, and passion for sharing their culture.

Village Food in Central Africa - RWANDAN FOOD and AMAZING DANCING in Rural Rwanda, Africa!
This was an amazing day of learning about Rwandan food and culture!

►Thanks to Azizi Life:
I signed up to go on a tour with Azizi Life, and I did the home food tour. It turned out to be even better than I was expecting, and truly a glimpse into rural life and a community in Rwanda. The food, the culture, and the dancing after lunch was one of the highlights of the day!
Muhanga Town - In the morning we first drove from Kigali to Muhanga Town, about an hour outside of Kigali. The green mountain roads were spectacular. Rwanda is known as the land of 1000 hills, and I think that might be an underestimation as there are never ending hills in this part of Central Africa.
After being warmly greeted and welcomed by the community of ladies, we first went to go fetch water. This is something many of us, myself for sure, take for granted. But in the rural countryside of Africa, even in cities, there are many people who have no running water, and when they need water for anything, they must walk to the well or source of freshwater, and carry all the water they need. It’s something to always remember.
Next we got started cooking all the food. Most of the ingredients for the Rwandan feast they cooked were from right there, on the hillside, from the small family farms. We had dozens of different vegetables, and of course - beans which were one of the most important foods of this regions of Africa. It wouldn’t be Rwandan food without beans as I’ve heard! Final dish was akabenz, a famous Rwandan pork dish.
You could taste the freshness of all the ingredients. The food was honestly a little plain for my usual taste buds, but I fully appreciated the natural ingredients, the simplicity of the dishes, and the love poured into each dish.
After eating a giant Rwandan feast, all of a sudden they started breaking out into dance. It was one of the highlights of this entire experience.
Thank you to the entire community for hosting us and to Azizi Life for setting it up!
