Highlights
What We Love
- Tuck into Rwandan specialities like rice-bean wine and kaunga (traditional cornmeal)
- Uninterrupted views of mirror-like Lake Kivu near the historic town of Kibuye
- Apartment and villa accommodations perfect for families or larger groups
When To Visit
Peak Season: June to September
The longest dry season when hiking and trekking are easiest
Green Season: November and March to April
Two rainy seasons make for more challenging conditions
Overview
Lake Kivu is one of Africa’s Great Lakes and its silvery surface is ringed by vivid green mountains and dotted with traditional fishing boats. It forms a convenient stop-over on a Rwanda holiday to Nyungwe National Park, famous for its strong primate population. The nearest town is Kibuye, which has a touching memorial to those lost in the infamous genocide.
Cleo Lake Kivu Hotel looks to the bright future rather than the past, and delivers happy days on the terrace over a delicious meal featuring some favourite local dishes. Rooms have all the mod cons like air conditioning, Wi-Fi and satellite television. There is also much on offer outside like kayaking, sunset cruises, boating, birding and hiking for active travellers.
