Begin your morning with a drive through the lush hills surrounding Goma to a rural village known for its high-quality Arabica coffee. Meet the members of a women-led or youth-led cooperative who will welcome you into their fields and homes with warmth and pride
Explore the coffee process from seedling to roast, learn traditional techniques, and join a guided tasting of fresh brews. Midday, share a communal lunch featuring Congolese dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. After lunch, enjoy a lively cultural performance with drumming, dancing, and storytelling that gives insight into the daily rhythms and creative life of the village.
After your cultural immersion, stroll through the village to meet local artisans or take in the surrounding scenery before returning to Goma in the late afternoon with gifts of memory, knowledge, and connection.
