Lake Kivu Serena Hotel

The stay

Set on a private stretch of palm-lined lakeshore in Gisenyi, Lake Kivu Serena Hotel overlooks Africa's sixth largest lake with the Virunga Volcanoes as a dramatic backdrop. The resort blends tropical charm with modern comfort, offering 66 stylish rooms and suites surrounded by manicured gardens. Guests can enjoy a spectacular swimming pool, water sports, a private beach, and dining at the lakefront Kiyaga Restaurant.

The hotel provides a refined base beside the water, where mornings begin with lake views and the pool terrace offers a quiet place to linger. Rooms combine contemporary comfort with garden surroundings, while the restaurant serves meals overlooking the shoreline and the spa and gym are on hand for relaxation or exercise. Water sports and the private beach extend leisure options throughout the day.

In a tailor-made safari through Rwanda, the hotel serves as a comfortable stop between national park visits, with breakfast included each morning to start the day. Its lakeside setting allows time to rest before or after time spent with the Virunga Volcanoes.
