Lake Kivu

Welcome to

Lake Kivu

The shores and emerald waters of Lake Kivu, are an essential stop on your Rwandan holiday adventure. After an exhilarating gorilla and primate trek, immerse yourself in the tranquility of this stunning location.

With its sandy beaches, soothing atmosphere, and 60 species of avian life, Lake Kivu is a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. While its calm surface offers serenity, beneath lies a geothermal uproar, making it one of Africa's "exploding lakes." Don't worry though, the lake is safe for swimming and various water activities. Explore the vibrant marine life, including the famous isambaza fish, and try your hand at traditional fishing methods. Cruise the lake aboard the Munezero, marvel at the picturesque vistas, and witness the convergence of Lake Kivu and the Ruzizi River. Along the shores, discover charming towns like Rubavu, renowned for its coffee plantations and delectable brews.

Whether it’s water sports or peaceful paddling, explore the wondrous Lake Kivu with the aid of our tailor-made Rwandan Safaris.

Jombi’s camp was exceptional and very enjoyable. The attention to detail was amazing and the camp fire was a great touch.

I enjoyed all of the accommodations because they were different from each other and had something unique to offer. I especially enjoyed the rustic tents ”.
