KAYAKING ON KIVU LAKE
Go on a short excursion a day trip or overnight journey kayaking on Lake Kivu. Paddling along the lush northern coastline between Gisenyi and Kibuye, we dip into inlets and cross bays to soak up the spectacular scenery, peace and tranquillity. Classic Lake Kivu fishing boats ply the waters at sunset, their crews singing rhythmically as a traditional way of life flourishes along the verdant shore. Numerous birds dart in and out of bushes and the active Nyiragongo Volcano can be seen rising above the surrounding hills. Near to Gisenyi, we visit coffee islands where you can watch (and experience) the entire coffee making process – from bush to cup. And in Lake Kivu Bay of Islands, near to Kibuye, we explore many uninhabited islands and watch roosting bats, vervet monkeys and keep a look out for Congo clawless otters.
