3 days Lake Kivu visit

Right after receiving your test results back and you are ready to start your Rwanda safari, your driver guide will be waiting to pick you up from your hotel in Kigali and provide a simple briefing. After the briefing, you will gather your belongings and head out to the south of Rwanda.

You will have your first stopover at the Kigali Genocide memorial grounds for an insight on the 1994 Rwanda genocide and after connect to the Kimironko market. You will drive further to Kibuye. This is a 4 to 5 hour road transfer until you can check into your hotel in Kibuye. You will be welcomed and showed to your rooms for the night. Lunch will be served and you will later head out to the Lake Kivu. You may take on a boat trip on the Lake Kivu to enjoy the cool breeze or opt to relax at the shores reading a book or soaking your feet. You will connect back to your hotel for dinner and a night in Kibuye.

This is the last day of your safari. You will wake up ready to end your trip. Have breakfast at your hotel and check out of your hotel headed for Kigali.
