After a ten-kilometre, 45-minute drive from the main road at Kayove (half of which can be covered by 4x4 or motorcycle cab), you arrive on the shores of Lake Kivu, in an idyllic setting. The Rushel Kivu Resort, a small seaside resort in itself, nestled between palm trees and a vast coffee plantation, provides a sense of isolation from the world. Serenity, calm and beauty characterize the place. On-site restaurant and numerous activities: swimming, beach volleyball, canoeing, hiking, visit to the Kinunu coffee washing station.

Our stay at Rushel was pure luxury. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with great amenities and a nice hot shower. The restaurant serves amazing food, from delicious local cuisine to some more traditionally Western dishes for travellers missing the taste of home. The beach is beautiful and remote, and the view of the stars at night is incredible. Best of all was the staff, all of whom were attentive and kind and more than happy to make this the best stay possible. Thank you so much, we hope to return some day!!

five stars for our first night. The food was DIVINE (sambaza straight from Lake Kivu! and the dodo ...!!) and staff was absolutely lovely. one star for our second night: we were sideswiped by a wedding and our food, which we ordered around 6p, had clearly been sitting out and reheated when it was finally served around 9:30p (steak was gray and overcooked, mashed potatoes were cold, ice cream was melted....etc) With all of this being said I adored the location and the staff (Etienne and Martin were especially wonderful) and would highly recommend a weekend here when a wedding was not in progress :)

Our stay was lovely, very peaceful, fantastic views of Lake Kivu. The beach is pretty private and you can enjoy swimming in the lake, walks within the property and the neighborhood were a joy. We stayed in the standard tent which were clean, spacious, comfortable and with lovely views of the lake. The staff were very attentive. Breakfast was always an extensive spread and on our last night the chef outdid himself by preparing us a roast goat dinner that was tender, succulent and delicious, this was our best meal there.
We drove from Kigali to the hotel but the last few kilometres to the hotel from Nkomero the road was in very poor condition, a 4 wheel drive is recommended or get a boat from Kibuye or Gisenyi, their website has details on all these options.
