Begin your day with a scenic drive from Kigali to the tranquil Lake Muhazi, known for its calm waters and beautiful rolling hills.

Upon arrival, board a boat for a guided birdwatching experience along the shores of the lake.

With the help of an experienced local guide, you may spot birds such as the African fish eagle, kingfishers, and other lakeside species, making it an ideal experience for both beginners and seasoned birders.

After your boat excursion, enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch by the lake, featuring local Rwandan dishes or packed meals.
