Resplan
På Iriza Tours prioriterar vi din komfort och bekvämlighet. Vår professionella Guide, lätt att identifiera i en khaki T-shirt med vår logotyp, garanterar en sömlös pick-up upplevelse. När du reser från Kigali till Musanze City och Gisenyi, berikar de resan med lokala insikter, vilket gör det till ett oförglömligt äventyr.
På väg till Gisenyi och Kivusjön gör vi ett kort stopp vid Nyirangarama för kaffe och snacks. Denna paus erbjuder en härlig chans att uppdatera och njuta av en snabb paus mitt i det vackra landskapet innan vi fortsätter vår resa.
När vi gör vår väg passerar vi genom Musanze City, en fängslande destination som ligger i den norra regionen av Rwanda. Musanze är känd som den näst största staden efter Kigali och erbjuder en blandning av levande kultur och fantastiska landskap. Det är ett fantastiskt tillfälle att njuta av charmen i denna vackra stad innan du når vår ultimata destination, Gisenyi och Kivusjön.
På vår rutt kommer vi också att passera genom Bigogwe, vilket lägger till ytterligare ett lager av naturskönhet till vår resa. Detta område erbjuder pittoreska landskap och är ett bevis på Rwandas naturliga prakt. Det är en fantastisk chans att uppskatta de olika landskapen när vi fortsätter vårt äventyr mot Gisenyi och Kivusjön.
När du anländer till Gisenyi har du möjlighet att uppleva charmen i denna livliga stad, som delar gräns med Goma. Medan det finns mycket att utforska i Gisenyi, med tanke på en dagsturen, tar vi oss direkt till Kivusjön och passerar genom staden på väg till vår natursköna destination.
Under vårt besök i Kivusjön får du möjlighet att ge dig ut på en minnesvärd båttur med panoramautsikt över den fantastiska sjön och dess omgivande landskap. Dessutom kan du varva ner och koppla av i de närliggande varma källorna, fördjupa dig i det terapeutiska vattnet och njuta av den naturliga skönheten i detta anmärkningsvärda område. Det lovar att vara en föryngrande upplevelse mitt i den lugna atmosfären i Kivusjön. Mellan våra äventyr kan du också njuta av en härlig lunch på någon av restaurangerna vid sjön, där du kan välja mellan en mängd olika alternativ, inklusive färsk fisk fångad från själva sjön och andra läckra lokala rätter.
Efter en dag fylld av spännande aktiviteter i Gisenyi och längs Kivusjön, inklusive natursköna båtturer, ö-utforskningar, föryngrande dopp i varma källor och en utsökt lunch, är det dags att återvända till Kigali. När solen går ner på vårt minnesvärda äventyr, ger vi oss ut på resan tillbaka och garanterar din komfort och säkerhet varje steg på vägen. Gör dig redo att minnas dagens höjdpunkter och ta med dig omhuldade minnen av Rwandas fantastiska landskap och pulserande kultur.

This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Rwanda. It offered a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and learning about life around Lake Kivu. The scenery along the shoreline was stunning, with beautiful views of the lake, rolling hills, fishing villages, and local communities that gave a real sense of the region. What made the experience special was how much local insight was shared throughout the tour. I learned about the history of Lake Kivu, the fishing culture, transportation on the lake, and the many activities available in the area. It felt much more personal than simply sightseeing. One of my favorite parts was visiting the hot springs. It was a fun and unique stop where we could relax and enjoy the warm water while taking in the surroundings. I would definitely recommend bringing clothing that can get wet so you can fully enjoy the experience. The unexpected highlight for me was the jet ski ride. Getting out on the water added a completely different perspective of the lake. The combination of speed, fresh air, and incredible views made it an unforgettable experience and easily one of the most exciting moments of the day. The tour was well organized, easy-going, and suitable for anyone wanting to explore Lake Kivu without feeling rushed. Between the beautiful scenery, local knowledge, hot springs, and jet skiing, it was a fantastic way to spend the day. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area and looking for a memorable experience on and around Lake Kivu.
Thank you, Tope, for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Lake Kivu and the mix of local culture, relaxation, and adventure. It is great to know that the hot springs and jet ski ride were highlights of your day. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Rwanda again soon.
Great adventure 4 hour ride from Kigali. The lake is amazing. We went on boat ride to hot springs. My tour guy was amazing. Everyone knew him. I highly recommend this tour with Didier. He will keep you safe share lots of information about Rwanda and its landscape n history. You can thank me later. See his card attached.
Thank you, rlumpy1. we are glad to hear you had a great experience in Gisenyi and at Lake Kivu. If you ever plan to visit Rwanda again, we would be happy to host you.
This is a long but ultimately rewarding day trip from Kigali, beginning with a 5am departure. It’s undeniably an early start and a full day on the road, but the westward drive is beautiful. As the hills rise and the scenery gradually unfolds, the journey itself becomes part of the experience. Gisenyi and Lake Kivu are truly picturesque. The vast openness of the lake, fishing boats moving steadily across the water, and hillside homes in the distance create a serene and memorable landscape. For me, the Lake Kivu segment was the highlight — particularly the visit to Nyamyumba Hot Spring. Soaking in the warm mineral waters and enjoying a traditional lakeside massage was both relaxing and distinctive, a welcome way to unwind after the long drive. The cultural elements of the tour, including traditional dance and pottery demonstrations, offered insight into local life. A simple Rwandan lunch rounded out the day nicely. My guide, Jerry, was accommodating, informative and pleasant company throughout. He managed the schedule efficiently and kept the long journey engaging with conversation and explanations. One aspect I felt more uncertain about was the village visit. The route to reach it was quite challenging, and personally I felt somewhat uncomfortable with how poverty was framed during the stop. It came across as positioned in a way that might evoke sympathy from visitors. I felt the itinerary could potentially be refined — for example, by including additional scenic viewpoints around Gisenyi and Lake Kivu, which would further showcase the region’s natural beauty. Overall, this tour delivers striking landscapes and a deeply relaxing Lake Kivu experience, particularly at the hot spring. It is best suited for travellers prepared for an early start and a long but scenic day.
Dear puayyork, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed the journey to Gisenyi and that the Lake Kivu experience, especially the hot spring, stood out as a highlight for you. It is great to know Jerry made the day comfortable and engaging along the way. Regarding the village visit, we would like to mention that this part of the experience is completely optional, and we always aim to ensure guests feel comfortable with their choices throughout the day. We truly appreciate your feedback and will continue refining the experience to keep it respectful and meaningful. Thank you again for traveling with us. We hope to welcome you back to Rwanda soon.
We had the best time with Jerry exploring the western part of Rwanda. Visiting Lake Kivu was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. The hot springs were such a fun and relaxing experience, and the fresh big fish we ate by the lake was honestly one of the best meals we had on the trip. Jerry was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything feel easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend him and these activities. It was such a special experience.
Hi John, Thank you very much for this beautiful review. We are so happy to hear that you had such a special time exploring Lake Kivu and Gisenyi with Jerry.

Jerry will be very pleased to know that his friendliness and knowledge made your day even better. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Rwanda again.
Olivier, from the moment we took charge, made us benefit from his knowledge of this wonderful country from an economic, historical or human point of view. The course is adapted to our expectations, a paradise stop at the hot springs. Excellent fish lunch, in an idyllic setting chosen by Olivier. His perfect knowledge of French was a plus for us. Accompanier highly recommended 🤩

Thank you, Onyeka. We are very happy you enjoyed the tour, the food, and the overall experience. Your kind words mean a lot, and we are glad you had such a great time.
The whole tour from start to finish was a beautiful experience. My family and I were the only ones - an exclusive tour! We were very comfortable and enjoyed the lovely scenery. Our tour guide Jerry did a wonderful job - he demonstrated his knowledge of the surrounding areas leading up to and around Gisenyi and Lake Kivu. We had stopovers to stretch our legs and use the loo (as applicable). Jerry also provided us with breakfast and lunch!!! I particularly loved the boat cruise and the hot springs, and will definitely visit Kigali again. It was definitely worth the cost!
Thank you so much, Favour. We are delighted to hear your family enjoyed the exclusive tour and felt comfortable throughout the journey. Jerry will be very happy to know his knowledge and care made the experience special. We truly appreciate your kind feedback and hope to welcome you again in Kigali.
Visited Rwanda and had an incredible time exploring the beauty of this country. I did the Kigali City Tour, visited Nyungwe National Park, and spent time in Gisenyi by Lake Kivu. Each experience was unique and amazing. The city tour gave me a great insight into Kigali’s rich history and culture, while Nyungwe’s breathtaking views and canopy walk were unforgettable. Gisenyi was a peaceful retreat with stunning views of Lake Kivu – perfect for relaxing after the adventure. Rwanda is such a beautiful country with beautiful people, and the service everywhere was excellent. I definitely encourage my friends and family to visit this wonderful country. As someone from Nigeria, I felt right at home!
Thank you for sharing your experience in Rwanda! I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Kigali’s rich history, the breathtaking views and canopy walk in Nyungwe, and the peace of Lake Kivu in Gisenyi. Rwanda’s beauty and hospitality make it truly special, and as a fellow Nigerian, it’s great to know you felt right at home. Looking forward to welcoming you, your friends, and family again soon!
