RWANDA - Around Lake Kivu
Rwanda's western side is bounded by Lake Kivu, one of a string of huge freshwater lakes which lie along Africa's Great Rift Valley. Dominating the border between Rwanda and the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo), Lake Kivu is Rwanda’s largest lake, and the sixth largest lake in Africa.
The area around Lake Kivu is very mountainous and there is no roads near the shore most of the time. Few villages are located on the shores.
