Visit Lake Kivu, Rwanda
Lake Kivu is the country’s largest body of water and takes up about half of Rwanda’s western border. The views from many hotels and guesthouses across the palm-fringed lake are wonderful.

There are three main towns along the lakeshore - Cyangugu in the south, Kibuye in the middle and Gisenyi further north.
High level accommodation
As the lake attracts a number of tourists and Rwandan holidaymakers, the level of accommodation here is generally of a better standard than in the parks. The views from many hotels and guesthouses across the palm-fringed lake are lovely, with little sandy beaches and grassy banks leading down to the shore.
