Amazing lake Kivu hike with Ceasar - We did the 3 nights / 4 days Lake Kivu hike and enjoyed every bit of it. Ceasar was an excellent guide and explained fauna and flora to us, as well as cultural insights. The hike was wunderfull and we passed amazing landscapes aswell as welcoming villages. It was exhausting enough to feel like you did something but never to challenging. Would definetly do it again.
