What to Do: Sunset boat rides, lakeside photography, local drinks at the shore.
There’s nothing quite like a Lake Kivu sunset. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the lake turns gold, orange, and then violet. Locals say that at this hour, the lake becomes a mirror of the heavens, a time when stories are whispered, lovers make wishes, and ancestors smile from the clouds.
Take a sunset cruise or relax on Nkombo’s hilltop viewpoints with a drink made from local bananas or passion fruit. It’s the perfect ending to a day of adventure and the beginning of your love story with Lake Kivu.
