The most perfect setting in this gorgeous and rustic eco lodge overlooking the Lake Kivu. This lodge respects local traditions and benefits the community. They have safari tents constructed with local materials, solar panels, water harvest, composting toilets and change towels only on request. I did not want to leave, ever! I want to visit again during their monsoon season. #rwanda #lakekivu #gisenyi
