Things to do and see in Karongi Kibuye – Lake Kivu Rwanda beach safaris

Things to do and see in Karongi  Kibuye – This is a sleepy laid back town of Kibuye which is also another perfect place in Rwanda where you can relax as well as chill along Lake Kivu. Its scenery is quite dramatic since the lake also displays itself through the coves and bays that seem to be like the watery fingers that are framed by the present color green of Rwanda.

Kibuye is also the most enjoyable town where one can relax and also chill in great comfort, you can take a swim in the lake as you dive from a long walk or you can simply dip your toes into the waters of the Lake Kivu. This town is also not yet on the map of most of the guests to Rwanda since for most of them, their visit to Rwanda is about gorilla trekking, but now this is changing and in future, even Kibuye will have more and more visitors that come to enjoy the shores of Lake Kivu.
