  • Karongi; half way along the lake, is a popular beach resort with hillsides covered in pines and eucalyptus serving as a backdrop to the sparkling lake. At dawn and dusk, the sound off local fishermen singing carries across the water as they paddle in unison.

Kayaking

Paddling across the coastline of lake Kivu by kayak is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the scenic, mountainous backdrop and tranquility of the water. The clear, pristine lake has an irregular shore line , dotted with islands. There are no hippos or crocodiles, making it a safe and seamless experience.

Cycling

Explore Rwanda’s country side on a bike to experience one of the region’s most authentic and rewarding activities. Arguably the greatest route is the Congo Nile Trail, a 227 km itinerary which runs roughly parallel to the eastern shore of lake Kivu. Starting in Rubavu and ending in Rusizi, the journey takes about five days, although it is possible to do single stages.

Agro-tourism experiences

Experience Rwandan coffee from crop to cup and meet coffee farmers behind your favourite cup of coffee on the shores of the lake Kivu. The secret behind the perfect cup of tea starts in Gisakura tea estate and will enable you to experience and learn the art of picking tea leaves and trying it out on your own. Hugging the rippling hills at the western fringes of Nyungwe National Park, this estate is among the famous of Rwanda’s tea plantations and is certainly the most spectacular.

What to wear

Daytime temperatures are warm, carry light clothing and consider sun protection, including a hat and sunglasses. The evenings tend to be cool, and a light sweater or jacket will suffice.
