Lake Kivu can be discovered in different ways:

The easiest : board a small motorboat and go to Nyamunini Island, to admire the myriads of bats while tasting guavas. This small island is also nicknamed "Napoleon Island" because it is shaped like his hat. The ascent takes only 30 minutes. The view from the top is sublime. You can also stop on Amahoro Island, where it is unfortunately no longer possible to camp. It is necessary to count approximately 35 000 Frw per hour for a simple motorboat between 8 and 12 places. The price depends on the distance traveled (price of oil). Departures are usually on the small bay in front of the Environment Museum. The Ames Boat & Tours agency can also organize excursions at low prices.

The most enchanting: Iliza Houseboat. You stay on the boat and wake up between Rwanda and Congo, between water and sky, surrounded by the sweet melody of the fishermen. It is also possible to reserve the Iliza boat for a few hours, half a day or a day (+250 788 300 630).

The most sporty: rent a kayak to meet the fishermen or the rural communities living on the lake's shores, or to get excited about the magnificent birds nesting on the islets (www.kingfisherjourneys.com). Also in Gisenyi.

Si vous avez une demie journée à consacrer à une croisière sur le lac Kivu au départ de Kibuye, je vous conseille de vous rendre à l'Hôtel Holiday qui dispose d'un petit bateau à moteur (idéal pour notre groupe de 4 personnes mais possible d'y monter à 6). Après une petite négociation, le prix de 25.000 RWF est fixé pour nous rendre à l'île "Napoléon" où nous avons pu admirer des centaines de chauve-souris. Pour les plus courageux, possibilité de grimper au sommet de l'île ou vous croiserez quelques vaches sorties d'on ne sait où! Sur le chemin du retour, arrêt à l'île Amahoro où vous aurez la possibilité de vous baigner dans les eaux lipides du lac.
