Is Goma Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Goma is relatively secure with a constant UN and government security presence. However, it's critical to be cautious, particularly at night. The region has been previously affected by political instability, so please always stay informed about current affairs. It's advised to always let someone know your travel itinerary and always utilize reputable transportation services. Street harassment can occur occasionally, therefore avoid isolated locations whenever possible.
