Lake Kivu Boat Cruise

Lake Kivu is a great African lake with three resort districts: Rubavu or Gisenyi, Karongi and Rusizi or Cyangungu. This magnificent lake forms Rwanda’s western boundary and is renowned for its fishing industry, preserving the traditional methods of the Rwandan people. Lake trail gently curves back and forth as it weaves through hills and mountains, with eucalyptus trees lining the road and every inch of the hills seemingly terraced with bananas. The Kivu belt offers lush flora, diverse fauna, and enchanting nature trails.

Embarking on a boat cruise on Lake Kivu, part of the Great Rift Valley, is an experience like no other. It offers you the unique opportunity to explore the islands such as Amahoro Island, Serene Island, and observe the birds on the shores. As you traverse the lake, you will be able to appreciate the mountainous backdrop from the tranquillity of the water. The cruise also provides a glimpse of the local tea plantations and coffee stations, adding to the charm of the journey.
