Rainforest and lakeside pair beautifully. The road between Lake Kivu and Nyungwe is one of the country's most scenic, and it makes the long southwest leg feel like part of the trip rather than a slog.
Many southern itineraries link a rest on Lake Kivu with the canopy walk and primates of Nyungwe. We plan the transfers so the distances are comfortable and the timing works for forest activities, which often start early.
Depending on your wider route, this can run in either direction, and we fit it around the rest of your plan.
Road times are approximate and vary with traffic, weather and road works. We confirm current timing with you before anything is booked.
Can you combine Nyungwe and Lake Kivu in one trip?
Yes, they pair naturally. We plan the transfers and timing so the southwest leg is comfortable. Forest activities often start early, so we build the days around them.
