Tchegera Island is a very beautiful, very small little island in Lake Kivu, a short boat ride away from Goma. The contrasts between the two could not be any greater. Goma, suffering widespread destruction from a 2002 volcanic eruption is slowly rebuilding itself, and is constantly patrolled by UN forces and has a heavy foreign aid presence.. Tchegera Island, the new relaxation getaway from Virunga National Park is serene and eco-friendly.
With the Virunga Mountains in the distance, you can see upwards of four different volcanoes depending on the conditions. While I only spent one night on the island, at the time, I was the only guest for the night! It was quite spectacular walking around and exploring. Small lizards would run off and birds flying around.
