We had an amazing boat tour on Lake Kivu with Visit Lake Kivu Tour. Even though we booked at the last minute, the manager was incredibly kind and accommodating. He quickly arranged everything for us and even found a French-speaking guide, which made the experience even better.

Our guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and never in a rush. He took the time to explain everything and made sure we fully enjoyed every stop. We visited Nyenyeri Island to see the monkeys, cruised around Amahoro Island, discovered the plantations on another island, hiked to the top of Napoleon Island to see the famous fruit bats, and even watched the swimming cows. We also had plenty of time to swim in the beautiful waters of Lake Kivu.

The entire experience was relaxed, well organized, and unforgettable. I can only highly recommend Visit Lake Kivu Tour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable adventure on Lake Kivu!

Fantastic day out. We found Aimable through google & he lived up to his 5 star reviews. We had the most wonderful day in his company exploring Lake Kivu & hiking local trails. He accommodated us at short notice, he was professional and had a lovely manner.

Amazing 3 hours trip with Felix! We did 1,5 hours of hiking and 1,5 hours boat tour. I enjoyed it a lot. The hike is perfect for beginners and Felix was such a nice, welcoming and knowledgeable guide! I would recommend this activity to everyone! Thank you so much!

The tour was very nice. Aimable had lots of great information that he shared with us during the boat ride and during the hike. The hike was very comfortable and within our range of fitness. He and the driver were very nice to us and were very informative throughout the trip. I'd highly recommend his services to anyone coming to Gisenyi.
