Gisenyi is a beautiful town on the shores of Lake in Rwanda. The lake is incredible, surrounded by lush green mountains. It’s a perfect place in Rwanda to spend some time relaxing, learning about the culture, and eating. One of the main Rwandan foods to eat at Lake Kivu is sambaza, a fish similar to sardines.
To begin this food and cultural tour of Gisenyi, Lake Kivu, we first stopped off at the local market, and took a boat ride. They were not allowed to fish on that day to control the fishing, but the fishermen gave us a quick lesson on how they fish, and took us out on a boat just to show us. It was one of the highlights of the day for me. The fishing boats are so peaceful and the rowing songs were amazing.
After having a quick snack of some deep fried sambaza, which were delicious, we continued on to one of the biggest fresh markets in Gisenyi. We saw ladies pounding cassava leaves, and stopped to eat some fruit. The tree tomatoes in Rwanda by the way are delicious.
Ibyiwacu Restaurant - Next we ate a quick Rwandan food lunch at a local restaurant. Buffets are very common in Rwanda, you choose all your different starches, with beans, and a couple of different sauces, and you can choose if you want meat or without meal. Overall, very good and fresh food, a little plain, but good with some extra chili sauce.
Price - 1,500 RWF ($1.70) per person
Next we headed to a local home for a home cooked African meal, including some of the local ingredients commonly used in the culture around Lake Kivu. Sambaza are a staple, but since we already had some fried, they made a peanut (groundnut) stew with the fish, and also made some vegetable dishes, with rice, and a number of other starches.
The sambaza with peanut sauce was the BEST meal of my entire trip to Rwanda.

Pppppp
Mark you are giving your son such a life enriching experience exposing him to all races and people...He will grow up with a great appreciation of all people. Learning a lot from you and your wife ...and the importance of sharing food with every race of people.
Micah is the most travelled baby in the world! 😉❤👏👍
He shouldn't be eating most of the food.
He’s like 3 what are you talking about??
Syro...why not?
Its not your kid to decide what he eats.
@@eugeniasyro7315 who told you he is eating the foods his dad eats????
I have to tell you Mark, your videos are better than the ones on cable channels. You deserve to be the number one traveling food vlogger. Take care.
Need more diverse food? Check out my indian food channel mate :)
And can you believe that people get mad at his faces and that he talks on camera while eating?! How else are you going to learn about other countries and cultural foods if someone didn't make these videos?!
agree. the only people concentrating on the faces are trolls, not people trying to expand learning about all the cultures of the world and how they bring us closer together.@@theresaq8321
I agree 100%
Agree!
I love how they sing when they row 3:47
kinda he got the bug )
Afric Network me too

Hi,Mark.Now,you make me like to visit Africa.I will include that in my bucket lists.This is one of the best videos you made with your family.I am a fan of yours.God bless.

Hello to all Rwandan people in the comments section. I want to just say that you have a beautiful country and amazing looking food with very friendly looking people. Much love from Australia.
Thank you and you are most welcome in Rwanda.we love you
Rwanda is beautiful and I humbly invite you to my indian food channel and if u like it then do share and support :-))

Facts
Yet we have the nerve to complain while these people from Africa seem to enjoy life to the fullest regardless of how much work they have to put into it. Love my African brothers and sisters!
Kerwin they will suffer because of their ENEMIES if you know what i'm talking about .
Kerwin they never did and never will , what are you talking about ? Africa is rich with resources and they want that , so they'd do anything just to have it , they don't care about Africa or it's people .
Kerwin or if they ever did and helped them , they'd be like " hey , all nations look , we're giving Africa money and food okay? We're good people so show us some love" they're pathetic .
we love you too.
@Leonaza7. . .I wouldn't call it enjoyment. It's all a matter of choice. They have none. A lot of countries in Africa hardly see five hours of electricity a week. Would you call that enjoyment? Growing up in Africa, we had no choice but to make do with the hand we were dealt but the aim of almost everyone was to get the hell outta there. Yes it's a fun place to go visit if you are not born in Africa but living there is a whole different ball game.
I'm so obsessed with this channel especially the African videos. Hope one day i can visit from the caribbean, so beautiful and the folks are genuinely happy.
Mark Wiens’ channel not only educate us about communities around the world but also inspires me to try cooking food from around the world😊
Indeed. I've cooked 5 dishes From East Africa so far since Tuesday night. All amazing with first try! Thanks so much Mark
Oh foodies here !!! I invite you both to my exciting street food channel :-))
I had the opportunity to travel north and south of India and not only your country have delicious food but also the people we came across with were very generous and hospitable as well...I like your channel...you can also visit mine:)
❤
Yes u are ryt
Thanks for showing us a place that no other food vlogger goes to. Rwanda has had a long history but you have brought the beauty of the country out!
How to tell if the food is good:
1. "Meh, it's alright" - Mark cuts out the reaction. Only comments.
2. "It's great" - Does the surprised, wide eyed reaction and a few "oh wow".
3. "It's amazing" - Does the closed eyed lean.
4. "War ending flavor" - After the lean one eye opens slower than the other.
Anything Trending Dude, you must have a PhD in Mark Wiens-ology because that was accurate as hell 😂
Mizan Rashid thanks but i have watched his almost every video and noticed this so thanks but are you Desi
yo why did you steal the logo from Auckland Transport? Make your own
John Jang 😂😂😂 You put ol' dude on blast 💀
Anything Trending 😂😂😂 yess that’s right
His face expression cant hide and told us he not really like the drink...haha...but he never say any negative thing about it and appreciate what the family served him....Mark you are a nice person...
jimmy choke 😂😂😂😂 you right I also felt like that he didn’t like the juice 🥤 he said it’s like a borage
Omg I was born there... I like how u show people the beauty of Rwanda and Africa!!💜💞💞💞💞🌏🌏 i subbed...
Dear Riana,Mwiriwe neza chane uraho urakomeye? I was borne in Tanzania a place called Ngara so I speak hangaza local language which is just similar to Ikinyarwanda and I am very amazed to see Gisenyi and I use to visit Giyenyi and Rwamagana, Gitarama and Rusumo was very close to Ngara so we use to cycle up to Rusumo on the bridge and back to Ngara. I love to see Africa a lot in general, Rwanda and Burundi as I speak the language, Thanks
❤ its really beautiful place n peoples 😊 love from India 🙏😊
I love going out on a date with Mark and his family. At least that’s how I feel every time I watch his food channel. Lol I’m so in love with your African series. I have to say is by far one of the best I’ve seen so far. It has been a true pleasure watching your Dad join in as well as your wife and son Micah. Thank you for always showing love and respect to the culture of Africa and the other countries you have visited. Love you! ❤️
Leonaza7 exactly 😊
Leonaza7 agree with you beautiful lake view best one so far. Lately I keep cooking Kenyan food can't have enough of Ugali & Yama chumbo & veg .
renee lee hope you liking the Ugali. I'm from Kenya and we like it so much.
Leonaza 7, I'd like to go on a lunch date with them as well.
Same
I LOVE that the ingredients that they use are all natural and organic &how they cook from scratch!!!!
while my country is here using fake packet stuff 🙄
So beautiful this community, they seem so happy!! Makes me smile 😫
Lots of love from Australia to Africa💗💗💕
Ha ,they cook dishes with bullion !!! Several spices you can't get here. You've got a lot to learn.
That fish in tomato sauce looked so good I had to make my own version with chicken for dinner. It was delicious! Thanks for the always great videos and inspiration!
I bet it was good sis lol
🤗
Mark is just the perfect ambassador for Rwanda. I just returned home from a visit to Kigali, and must say I had the best culinary experience ever! Thanks to Mark Wiens, I learned about "Akabenz" and our taxi driver took us to a locals' spot for the Akabenz experience. Man, it was so good!!!!! Such a memorable experience. Above all, Rwandese are some of the friendliest, chillest people on earth. It was a relaxing and rejuvenating trip. I highly recommend Rwanda, and look forward to going back again soon.
i love to see the three generations of Wiens getting together on an african food trip 😍
Does that make Micah a little Weiner?!
Agreed! Mark has the same mannerism as his father esp when tasting food 😄
Africa a paradise land..
All of your videos from Africa makes me want to move there. I wish I could have raised my kids in communities like that. Great video and delicious food. Thank you for sharing.
The green vegetable in the video is used throughout the Caribbean (I have a ton in my garden in Canada) and it's from the Amaranth family. In the Caribbean it's called Jamaican Callaloo, spinach or chorai bhaji Usually cooked as it was done here, but we tend to add coconut milk, scotch bonnet peppers and bits of salted cod. (along with garlic, onions and tomatoes at times)
caribbeanpot correct again Chris. You are a true foody and a Trini. A great Caribbean food Embassador.
Interesting, it looks like this sting-weed that grows in Poland. I wonder if it is the same thing?
I was always told that fruits and veg I see in Barbados came over On the "boat" come from Africa. It so refreshing to me to see all these food that my carribean family cook.
They were stinging nettles that are everywhere in the UK
Hey Chris! How's it going brother? 😊
The nature is gorgeous. The people is friendly. The food is simple but looks yummy. Mark brought the beauty of the world to our homes.
You and your wife are special. I love how you embrace and respect all cultures, and you are exposing your son to this from an early age. I love that your father instilled this in you, growing up, and continues to share in some of your travels. Continue to share your adventures with us. I really enjoy your videos. Blessings.
top stuff as always Mark Wiens.
the village is like a paradise. had never seen this side of Africa before. guess western media houses portray Africa in the wrong light.
Read so much about this country Rwanda.What a beautiful people and country. Greetings from South Pacific.
Crispy deep fried fish...my favorite snack 👍
They seem to have a very healthy cuisine. Tons of vegetables!
I also like all the vegetables. I'd probably like living there.
Oooh AFRICA my soul longs for you my MOTHER! Thank you Mark, this was SO lovely to watch!
We Welcome you home, finally you will rest and so will the ancestors that never got a chance to go home.
He(The Host Eves) will always be a Sweet Nice Guy. Thumbs Up to Him and His Family GOD continue to Bless them 💯I liked because of Africa itself💚🍃🌿🍃🌊🌊🌊
im a kenyan but i love this part of rwanda. so refreshing. i love they way they preserve their small fishes in the lake!
That vibe while their rowing awesome! Nice to see a developed rwanda. Peace and love from the philippines🇵🇭❤️
Good morning. I hope you're having an amazing day. It's me, spending time with Mark Wiens seeing the world as I've never seen it before.
I wasn't sure what to expect when watching your African series; I simply had no reference to compare it against. I tell you what though... the warmth and friendliness of the people you have introduced us to has really shone through. Africa is beautiful. Africa is cool.
So amazed how Micah quickly adapts to his environment! Always seems to be in a good mood even towards strangers. And amazed to see he also eats what you eat! Awesome parenting, Mark & Ying!
Rwanda needs an Olympic rowing team!!!
Ha ha haaaaa bro u made my day love from kenya
You are the best!!! Passionate, engaging and entertaining... trust me only show I watch without skipping or missing a second!!! Thank you!!!
I was born in gisenyi ,Rwanda.Was flabbergasted to see mark in my native town .
I absolutely love the African series, the people are all so happy and friendly and the food looks wonderful. Mark I look forward to all your uploads, I almost missed this one as you uploaded it at a different time, but I’m so glad to have found it in my notifications. Amazing how these lovely people are less fortunate than many of us, in so many ways, yet they are content with their lifestyle and make the most of what they have to survive. Much respect to them all ✊🏼lol at the bicep curls on the homemade barbell, that’s fabulous 💪🏼
FitAngie Please stop equating what you are ya not use to seeing as being ‘less fortunate’. The food their eat is natural,organic, healthier & probably breath fresher air than you.
👍👍
These places in Rwanda are so beautiful, and every time I watch your videos I feel the cooking around. Hope, someday could smell!
I respect this man for trying dishes from so many different places with ways of cooking which is so different from the western world. Wow!
Mark and his dad have the same facial feature when ever they take a bite of any food. So appealing to watch.
It's amazing how clean and fertile Rwanda is. God bless this people.
This is the Best Food Channel ever watched..I must confess am in love with the African Foods..
Thank you
From New Zealand
How wonderful to see your little son eat what you all take in...thats so great i see him eating and doesn't even complain..how precious Mark..you an wife are truly blessed..i love your videos...may God keep you all safe in His name...

Pamela Palma Hi Pamela 😊
Mark you and your family have been blessed by the lord... Much love and respect from Newport beach California.... thank you for a glimpse of what life is supposed to be.
Kevin Parks huntington beach had good fishes eh
Kevin Parks I’m posted at park Newport by balboa! Mark always inspires me to get out of this rich city I live at.
Angel Solis word my friend, lets get out there and eat some food together brotha. I am a chef as well.. lets get a new vlog with new friends started vato...
As long as your are an adult... it would be cool to start a vlog with people that dont know each other eating food they have never had before. Its a double great and awesome thing...
U a foodie mate? Then I invite you to checkout my indian food channel :-D
Brings back some memories! Had Lake Kivu tilapia fish in DRC (then Zaïre) - marinated in crushed, juicy vegetables, then charcoal grilled. Unbelievably excellent!
The highlight of every video for me is when a home cooked meal is freshly made for you from a local and native family. I love to watch every piece of the meal being made.
Thank you for sharing, Mark! It's amazing to see the culture and cuisine of beautiful Rwanda.
Wow! This is a bonus video...Mark’s dad is on board.
The place is amazing landscape. I never thought it would look so calming
It's very rare to see such beautiful photography from the heart of Africa. Thanks for showing us this gem of our planet Earth!
Rubavu is such a vibrant town with a mix of congolese and Rwandese culture. i loved visiting there. we were on vacation 2weeks ago and stayed at Karongi district (about 2hrs from Rubavu) as you head backto Kigali. the place we stayed is called Rwiza village. it has profound views of the islands. and the lake!.... so crystal clear you can swim in the warm water. best part was a boat ride to see the islands, where cows swim to graze from on island to the next. there is a local tourist guide at the town who can show you around,but we used the staff at the hotel (RwiZa Village)l to show us around. they make excellent local food and their cottages just connect you with nature. it would be a memorable experience if you tour. Rwanda is such a beautiful country.
It is. Vacationed there for a month. A business vacay. Stayed mostly at Nyabugogo and Kimisagara towards the end of my visit. Rwandese are the friendliest people. Fell in love with their warm hearts. Amakuru hehe, they just love throwing "urumpha" in between their stories, loosely means "are you following"
@Lynn Roberts Rwanda is a Francophone country but Kigali is replacing French with English as the main language for transacting business, diplomacy and scholarship.
@Lynn Roberts I'm from Kenya but been there a few times. Lovely people there
One of the best travel series of your channel Mark..
I was born in Bukavu in Congo right on the border with Rwanda also half Lebanese ..Love your videos thank you for showing Africa in a good light.
That’s my country!! Thanks for sharing the beauty of my country ❤️
What a beautiful country and people. Thanks for sharing Mark. Safe travels...lovely to see your dad and as always Micah and Ying.
your documentary of Bhutanese cuisine is little unsatisfactory to me, I am the 1st chef of Bhutan trained aboard and in Bhutan .I would have given you a bettered explanation ethnically if you happen to visit Bhutan again do let me know. If ask any one Chef kelzang any one in Thimphu will direct to my place
This African series is amazing...however I must say Rwanda has my heart so far
The kindness your videos show around the world is such a warm reminder how beautiful humanity can be when we share
i love that you expose your family to the beauty of Africa. Thank you Mark and family!
Three boats attached together. This is awesome & safe too.
One of your best video. Rwanda is amazing😍
Stunningly beautiful people and country! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. You are so kind.
your excitement is so real!!!
Another great video from the one and only Mark Wiens
Thanks for showing some countries of Africa! You are simply amazing!!!
I love these African videos it shows how diverse African culture is.
Mark, you are literally Aladdin! You can take us and shows us the world. I am loving this Africa series and makes me appreciate of what is in our table. Also, people there look happy which makes me happy too.
One of favourite African food series! Rwanda is so beautiful!
That boy rolling that wheel brought back memories of my growing up in Nigeria. That was about the most fun you could have. We didn't have the luxury of a Toys R Us. You had to make/build your own toys.
MegaBestoffer Thats amazing! Using your creative mind to make toys instead of simply buying them.
Lol. I wouldn't call it amazing. It was just necessary. I tried showing my kids how to build a Kite and they looked at me weird. "why don't we just buy it on Amazon"?. I just shook my head.
MegaBestoffer That's great! Toys like that nurture a child's creativity by encouraging them to use their imagination. I wish kids nowadays would do the same instead of staring at iPads all day long and developing short-term attention spans!
I just posted about my papaw making me one as a kid. loved that thing.
You teach them the ones we make from coke caps with strings or catapult 🤣🤣🤣 catching caterpillars and lady bugs... those days are gone.
Wow it looks amazing out there.. You are so lucky to lead such a beautiful life and thank you for taking us on the journey!
mark weins, you respect the culture and the tradition of each country you visit. Good job.................
Loved this whole series of food in Africa. Great content, food in all its simplicity yet looks so delicious and wholesome!
Your african series definetely changed my mindset about africans (in a good way) 😀
Greetings from Indonesia :)
dont judge people by appearance !!!
MASSACHUSETTS how do you know i'm judging them? I don't lived in africa, so everything that i know was based on the news. And apparently this video changed my mindset about this land.
Don't listen to a word they say. I may have underestimated the power of the media.
Simply Rey Great all you need to do now is visit the loving continent. Waiting 4 you.
urgh ...indonesians
food looks amazing as usual and thanks to add scene when people cooking and the workout part. very nice ambiance.
Sambaza
Slightly(almost) matching with indian traditional food called "Kali(made with flour) & Karavaattu Kulambu (Fish curry) So i really happy to see this in Africa
I love Africa.
Wow! What language did the word “kali” come from? Because it sounds like “ugali” in Kiswahili for that preparation.
Its a thamizh(Thamil) language from india.
Kali karuvattu kulambu nice combination
Kenyans call it omena
I LOVE HOW BEAUTIFUL RWANDA IS! 😍
Micah is so cute he will be well traveled which is very good and he won't be afraid of people. Thanks.
that song they sing when rolling the boat is so amazing, so soothing to the heart
I love how the food looks fresh and delicious. Truly amazing to see people working and singing songs I used to listen to.
Enjoying your channel more and more. Thank you for spending so much time in Africa many Americans are ignorant to how beautiful the people and food actually are.
Are u a foodie then I must invite you to my indian food channel :-))
Mark, I love your videos! Your charisma and enthusiasm is so contagious. I always feel like I've been on a vacation after watching you and your family, which is beautiful, btw!! Thank you for sharing. Good luck in all your endeavors!!
The view over the lake was just gorgeous.What a beautiful country of people and food. ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching you enjoying your foods but when Micah & Ying in the background smiling, it put a big smile on my face. Awesome adventures! 🙏❤👪
Mark you continue to inspire me to keep making content on youtube. Sometimes I want to quit but your videos encourage me to keep producing street food travel videos. Keep doing what your doing man bcuz I’m sure many many feel the same way I do. Peace
Your videos are so inspiring!! And your wife is so so supportive of you! I admire you two! Oh and Micah is getting so big!! 😍
Educational, entertaining, real, honest, humble and I end up having to make myself a snack after watching your vlogs.
I just love your humility and feel so blessed to have found your channel ..
This is one of the healthiest food you've eaten from travelling the world. Thanks Mark for sharing. 😊
I love your videos Mark! Please keep doing what you're doing! It's so inspiring to see new cultures.
I love the way you tag your family along...Michael seems to enjoy it so much.
I like the way you respect food... i'm disappointed i can't taste and eat all the food just like what you did...i'm jealous..🤤🤤🤤🤤
Bless you, Ying, Michah and your Dad and your attentions to Africa. HE APPROVES. I know this in my heart. There is more here than tourism eating. Resist that serpent, and never NEVER stop. Thank you for your vids.
The green leaf vegetable in the last dish is amaranth. It's called callaloo bush in Jamaica and spinach bhaji in Trinidad and Tobago. It's very nutritious and the seeds of some varieties are used as a cereal grain also called amaranth.
You are right it is very important to visit the local market that how you see and understand the culture I love markets
Mark, with every new video from this Africa series I am blown away a little more. This is best thing you have done in a body of already excellent videos.
I'm inspired to travel the world and experience others. I love the fact that all of your travels are with the local people, not some resort.
Showing the world the interconnectedness we all have.... food!!! And smiles!!! And families!!! We all just want peace and happiness. Thanks Mark!
