Lake Kivu

Known for its immaculate beaches and warm, safe swimming waters, Lake Kivu is one of Africa's Great Lakes and a wonderful destination to go and relax after a gorilla-trekking safari. You can enjoy superb conditions for canoeing and boating on the lake, while taking in the mesmerising views of the surrounding mountains.

Lake Kivu is part of Africa's series of Great Lakes and offers an idyllic shoreside interlude – before or after gorilla trekking – in the quaint town of Gisenyi. Spend your days boating, kayaking and unwinding as you soak up the sun.
