Jambo Beach

Last weekend, I visited Jambo beach with Hazel and Mary, two other VSO volunteers. I had been told that the 'beach', a grassy area next to Lake Muhazi (less than an hour from my house), was quite unimpressive compared to the beauty of Lake Kivu. However, we had a wonderfully relaxed weekend there and the sunset was the best I have seen in Africa so far. I am sure in years to come the area will be developed greatly and become a tourist haven but for most of the weekend, there were very few people there and we enjoyed the unspoilt paradise. On Saturday, some local kids entertained us by dancing whilst their family ate lunch in the restaurant. We enjoyed having a daytime boogie with them, much to the delight of the DJ. Even the kids here are incredible dancers and have a real feel for rhythm.
