Lake Kivu
Najboljši čas za obisk
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.
Nasveti za proračun
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 znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: To jezero s površino približno 2700 km² ni eno od štirih največjih jezer na svetu, temveč je vulkanska vodna plast, ki doseže globino 480 metrov. Je edino naravno jezero, v katerem poleg ribištva, ki preživlja dva milijona ljudi, pridobivajo tudi metan.
Poudarki: Pod jezerom je več milijonov kubičnih metrov CO2 in metana, ki čaka, da pride na površje; leta 2007 je konzorcij začel ta plin po ceveh odvajati in ga pretvarjati v elektriko. Pozno popoldne v treh obalnih vaseh, ko ribiški ognji plešejo nad vodo, vdihnete zrak, ki hkrati diši po brbotajoči pari in mirnem morju.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
