Night Fishing in Kibuye
Lake Kivu is one of Rwanda's main attractions, and we certainly understand why. If you've spent time on, or near, the lake at night, you've undoubtedly seen (and heard) the night fisherman of Lake Kivu. In this unique experience, you'll get to join up with one of the fishing teams and learn about the important tradition of fishing on Lake Kivu!
As the sun goes down over the lake, you'll board a small motor boat that will take you right up to the fishing boats. From there you'll have the chance to board the hand-made fishing boat, meet the fishing team, learn about the process, and (when it's time to raise the nets) experience how strenuous and strategic the work really is. You can head back to shore whenever you're ready, but most likely after they pull the nets for the first time. You'll get to take home a small amount of sambaza from the catch, and if you're staying at Home Saint Jean in Kibuye, they'll cook the sambaza for you at no extra cost.
Drinking water, camera, warm clothes, headlamp, clothes that might get wet or dirty.
