Lake Kivu

About Lake Kivu

Lake Kivu, stretching 90 km along the border between Rwanda and the DRC, is one of Africa's Great Lakes and one of the continent's most scenic inland water bodies. The Rwandan shore, centred on the town of Rubavu (Gisenyi), offers a tranquil complement to the intensity of gorilla trekking, with boutique lakeside lodges, island excursions, kayaking, and the distinctive culture of the Great Lakes region. The lake's forested islands shelter primates and birds, and the surrounding highlands produce some of Rwanda's finest coffee and tea. Lake Kivu is the ideal start or finish for any Rwanda itinerary seeking beauty, calm, and authentic cultural connection.
