  • Karibu Hotel: Located in Himbi district, Karibu Hotel is a tranquil refuge from the hustle and bustle in downtown Goma. If you want time to relax, this is your hotel. Its vast garden is unique among the hotels in town. Karibu has immediate access to the lake and a good tennis court and pool. The service is poor, however, and electricity only goes until 9 p.m. Long-term stays are overpriced. For more call Nyota at 081 537 6777 or email her at nngezayo@gmail.com.
