Lake Kivu
最佳游览时间
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.
预算提示
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.
推荐给
Nature photographers, Travelers seeking silence, Those curious about the local fishing culture, Those who love canoeing and swimming

关于
快速信息: 这座湖泊的表面积约为2700平方公里,它虽然不是地球上最大的四个湖泊之一,但却是一片深度可达480米的火山水体。湖中的气体储层使其成为全球唯一一座除了滋养两百万人口的渔业之外还能开采甲烷的天然湖泊。
亮点: 湖底深处储存着数百万立方米的二氧化碳和甲烷气体,等待着浮出水面;2007年,一个财团开始用管道抽取这些气体并将其转化为电能。傍晚时分,岸边三个村庄里渔民的篝火在水面上舞动,你吸入的空气同时带着沸腾蒸汽与宁静大海的气息。
内部小贴士
- 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.
