We are a local adventure company based on the scenic shores of Lake Kivu, offering unforgettable boat rides, guided hikes on the Congo Nile Trail, and authentic community experiences. Whether you’re starting your journey from Kibuye or Gisenyi, we bring you closer to the heart of Rwanda.

Lake Kivu is perfectly positioned between two of Rwanda’s iconic destinations; Volcanoes National Park, home of the endangered mountain gorillas, and Nyungwe National Park, famed for its chimpanzees and rainforest canopy walk.
