Lake Kivu Cruise, Coffee Tour, and Cooking Class｜Rwanda

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Escape Kigali for a day and trade the city’s energy for the tranquility of Lake Kivu, one of Africa’s most stunning Great Lakes. This immersive experience blends nature, culture, and flavor, making it the perfect one-day getaway.

Begin with a morning pickup in Kigali. As you will be driving through Rwanda’s famous “Land of a Thousand Hills,” soak up breathtaking scenery, from lush valleys to vibrant roadside villages.

On arrival at Lake Kivu, set off on a boat cruise across its shimmering waters, drifting past fishing boats and small islands. Keep your eyes open for unique sights like swimming cows or colorful birdlife dotting the shoreline.

After a refreshing cruise, enjoy a delicious lakeside lunch prepared with local ingredients, then dive into Rwanda’s rich coffee heritage. At a nearby plantation, take part in the entire coffee-making journey from picking ripe cherries to roasting beans over a fire, before savoring the freshest cup you’ve ever had.

Continue with a hands-on cooking class, where you’ll learn to prepare a traditional Rwandan dish alongside local hosts. It’s the perfect way to connect with Rwanda’s culinary traditions while making memories (and a tasty treat) to take back home.

Before returning to Kigali, have time for shopping local crafts and coffee a great way to support communities and bring a piece of Rwanda with you.

As the sun dips behind the hills, relax on the drive back, carrying with you the unforgettable sights, flavors, and stories of Lake Kivu.
