Lake Kivu Cruise experience

This experience was so great, Our guide Augustin was the best and really went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. They really helped with recommendations for our stay at Lake Kivu and went out of their way to accommodate and changes that needed to be made. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity ! Thank you so much 1000 Hills Safari for making the adventure such a great one.

Beautiful scenery

I ended up being the only person on the tour. Augustin fetched me in Muhanga and we made our way to Kibuye. Lake Kivu is incredibly beautiful. Our boat made a few extra stops on other islands which was very special. Lunch and the hotel setting was superb. I would do this day tour again tomorrow! Thank you Placide and Augustin 🌟
