Even if Lake Kivu isn’t really a singular destination, it deserves special attention all by itself due to the abundance of attractions and activities it provides visitors to Rwanda from its location on the country’s westernmost border.
It extends over a huge region of more than 2,700 square kilometres, from the northern city of Gisenyi to the southern, multiethnic island of Ishwa.
Visitors will be able to see quaint fishing communities on stilts, groups of distinctive catamaran skiffs on the water, a scattering of lovely tropical islands, and possibly even the more contemporary shapes of diligent natural gas extractors above the lake along the route.
