After two calm months of rest, Night Fishing on Lake Kivu is open again. During this short break, local fishermen let the fish breed and the lake refresh itself. This helps protect both the environment and their traditional way of life.
The Magic Starts at Sunset
Every evening from 5 PM to 9 PM, the beauty of Lake Kivu comes alive. As the sun sets behind the green hills, fishermen prepare their wooden boats and light their small kerosene lamps.Local night fishing experience
