The Last Swim and the Border's Long Goodbye

Uwase spends her final day in Rubavu with a long swim at Gisenyi Public Beach, a slow walk along the Congo Nile Trail's starting point, and a last look at the Grande Barrière. She reflects on the town's patient borderland character, the cost of daily life, and what it means to leave a place that has begun to feel like home. ☕ Enjoying the show?
