Lake Kivu
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
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.
Tips anggaran
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.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Danau dengan luas permukaan sekitar 2.700 km² ini bukan salah satu dari empat danau terbesar di dunia, melainkan lapisan air vulkanik yang kedalamannya mencapai 480 meter. Cadangan gas di dalamnya menjadikannya satu-satunya danau alami yang selain mendukung perikanan yang menghidupi dua juta orang, juga menghasilkan metana.
Sorotan: Di bawah danau ini, ada jutaan meter kubik gas CO2 dan metana yang menunggu untuk muncul ke permukaan; pada tahun 2007 sebuah konsorsium mulai menarik gas ini dengan pipa dan mengubahnya menjadi listrik. Pada sore hari di tiga desa di tepi pantai, saat api para nelayan menari di atas air, Anda akan menghirup udara yang berbau seperti uap mendidih sekaligus laut yang tenang.
Tips orang dalam
- 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.
