The Lake Kivu Luxury Boat Experience is a one-of-a-kind adventure provided by the new Mantis Kivu Queen uBuranga vessel allowing adventure lovers to explore the breathtaking Lake Kivu, Rwanda’s largest Lake and Africa’s 6th largest Lake. This stunning Lake sits on the western side of the country and its waters are also shared by the Democratic Republic of Congo.
