ConsultationLake Kivu is one of the African Great Lakes and is the largest lake in Rwanda. It's located in the Albertine Rift, a part of the East African Rift system. The lake is approximately 89 kilometres long and 48 kilometres wide, with a maximum depth of about 475 meters. Its clear blue waters are surrounded by picturesque hills and lush green landscapes.
Lake Kivu is a tranquil destination offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking natural beauty and relaxation. Visitors can enjoy various activities and take in the stunning landscapes that surround this remarkable Rwanda lake.
Rwanda's temperate climate makes Lake Kivu an excellent year-round destination. However, the best time to visit is during the dry season, which typically runs from June to September and December to February. During these periods, the weather is sunny and perfect for outdoor activities.
While Lake Kivu isn't particularly known for its wildlife like Rwanda's national parks, the surrounding area offers unique birdwatching opportunities. Bird enthusiasts can spot various species around the lake, including the African fish eagle, malachite kingfisher, and pied kingfisher. The lake itself is home to different fish species.

From the very first inquiry email to my departure from Nairobi, Silas and his team at Safari Update Travels could not have been more supportive and friendly. I was met at the airport, delivered to the hotel and throughout the 3 day safari the driver, accommodation and food were superb.

I had an amazing experience in Masai Masa. I booked my Masai Mara 3 day 2 night package from Safari Update Travels. My point of contact was Silas who has always been available to answer all my queries. He is easily reachable. He had assigned to us tour guide Jack who did a brilliant job as we witnessed all big fives.

What a fantastic experience and trip Silas and the Safari Updates team organized. They are skilled, competent, and incredibly diligent. He accomplished our goal of taking safaris in both Kenya and Tanzania over the course of six days. Despite having made our booking for Kilimanjaro with a different Firm, he assisted us and remained in touch with us to see how we were doing.

I and my family went on a 7-day trip to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and to Masai Mara. Amboseli had the most amazing heart of elephants, as well as a spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro. There are plenty of animals at Lake Nakuru... lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffe, buffalo.

The agent Xavier is very social and clear in his communication. We had a really great experience in Masai Mara. We enjoyed the game drives, and Martin was an excellent driver and guide. Very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions that we had. The accommodation in jambo mara was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
