Lake Kivu Tourism Destination
Where to Stay, Things to Do & Going Around
On the border between the democratic republic of Congo and Rwanda lies a very deep and fairly mysterious lake called Lake Kivu. Kivu means lake in certain Bantu dialects. Lake Kivu covers about 2700 square kilometers with the bottom of the lake on a volcanic fault that is moving outwards and this in turn makes it deep – about 480 meters. The lake is fresh water. There are five resort towns on the lake edges both on the Congo and the Rwandan sides, including Gisenyi, Goma, Kamembe, Bukavu and Karongi.
