1 Day Lake Kivu Kayaking Excursion: Kayak in Rwanda

Have you ever wanted to kayak in Rwanda? Join us for an incredible 1 day excursion kayaking on Lake Kivu.

Join us on a 1 day kayaking excursion on Lake Kivu. Experience the tranquillity of Africa with this kayak adventure in Rwanda.

Lake Kivu is the largest lake in Africa that does not have a single hippo or crocodile and is therefore the best and safest place in the entire continent for watersports.

After meeting your guide, you will receive a short briefing on the lakeshore before you set
out onto the water. The journey on the water is flexible, so will vary depending on the
weather, timing and client wishes.

Public groups must, however, stay together. Short excursions stay within a local, sheltered bay, whilst day trips explore further south where there are interesting fishing communities and a small uninhabited island on which you may stop for lunch.

Price Includes

• Experienced British Canoeing qualified and expertly trained activity leaders
• Modern canoes and all equipment
• Transport from the meeting point to the start and pick up at the end (for full price clients). Pickup from other locations or your hotel is available for an additional fee
• Water for you to refill your own water bottle.
