Rwanda’s largest lake, Lake Kivu, is a stunning body of water shared with nearby Congo. The lake is a prime spot for water sports and boating, as well as bird watching and shopping. The villages and towns that sit on its shores have been largely preserved in time – residents carrying bushels of bananas on their heads to sell at the market. Here you can sit on the lake’s sparkling shores and soak-in the beauty and tranquility that perfume the air.
