Lake Kivu
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
At sunrise and sunset the lake surface turns copper colored; around December you catch calmer and clearer weather. On weekday mornings the boats are almost empty.
Savjeti za budžet
You can bargain for lake trips; half-day tours with local fishing boats cost half as much as licensed agencies. Outside the high season (the lazy months), include in your pension stay the right to reach the shore with your own canoe without an entry fee.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Ovo jezero s površinom od oko 2.700 km² nije jedno od četiri najveća jezera na Zemlji, nego je vulkanska vodena masa čija dubina doseže 480 metara. Njegova plinska zaliha jedino je prirodno jezero iz kojeg se, osim ribarstva koje hrani dva milijuna ljudi, crpi metan.
Istaknuto: Ispod jezera nalaze se milijuni kubičnih metara CO2 i metana koji čekaju da izbiju na površinu; 2007. jedan konzorcij počeo je cijevima crpiti taj plin i pretvarati ga u električnu struju. Predvečer u tri sela na obali, dok vatre ribara plešu iznad vode, udišete zrak koji istodobno miriše i na kipuću paru i na mirno more.
Insajderski savjeti
- Take the first boat in the morning; as the fog lifts, the silhouettes of the islands appear to float over the water.
- To see the monkeys, take a walk toward the banana groves on the shore, but keep your phone in your pocket because the networks are tied to an old radio station.
- For photos, prefer the northern shore, which catches the dark outline of the Congo ridge right before sunset.
- You may have a chance to come across fishermen's weddings; on Saturday afternoons, dance shows in the village square are free.
