Lake Kivu, situated in the western part of Rwanda along the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, is one of Africa's Great Lakes and the largest freshwater lake in Rwanda. Known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, Lake Kivu is a popular destination for tourists seeking relaxation and outdoor activities.

The lake's crystal-clear waters are surrounded by picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, lush forests, and small fishing villages. Visitors to Lake Kivu can enjoy a range of water-based activities, such as swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and boat cruises, offering opportunities to explore the lake's scenic shores and nearby islands.

Lake Kivu is also renowned for its therapeutic hot springs, located along its eastern shore, where visitors can relax and rejuvenate in the mineral-rich waters. The lake's volcanic origins provide a unique geological setting, with opportunities for hiking and exploring nearby volcanic peaks and lava formations.

Lake Kivu offers a variety of accommodations, from luxury resorts to eco-friendly lodges, providing visitors with a comfortable and scenic base to explore the area.

“Little Rock Safaris went above and beyond our expectations! We went on a safari tour to Murchison Falls National Park and it was so fun and they made the trip so smooth even when our group was so slow moving they adapted to our pace. ”

“I travelled with Littlerock in July, and it was rewarding right from the pick-up at Entebbe to drop-off. The team ensured our itinerary ran smoothly, and their choice of accommodation, especially during the Gorilla trekking and the Queen Elizabeth visit, was top-notch.”
