Lake Kivu, Gisenyi

Best Resort in GISENYI: The Palm Beach Resort
#rwanda #gisenyi
Gisenyi is a beautiful town on the shores of Lake in Rwanda. The lake is incredible, surrounded by lush green mountains. It’s a perfect place in Rwanda to spend some time relaxing, learning about the culture, and eating. One of the main Rwandan foods to eat at Lake Kivu is sambaza, a fish similar to sardines.
To begin this food and cultural tour of Gisenyi, Lake Kivu, we first stopped off at the local market, and took a boat ride. They were not allowed to fish on that day to control the fishing, but the fishermen gave us a quick lesson on how they fish, and took us out on a boat just to show us. It was one of the highlights of the day for me. The fishing boats are so peaceful and the rowing songs were amazing.
I have visited Gisenyi last year on 2022 for 2 days short trip while crossing Rwanda Border.
i stayed in a beautiful resort called The Palm Beach Resort, Lake Kivu with 25$ (25000 RWF) per night for 2 person including breakfast. It was a great staying there. We reached in the resort at the morning & aftter having a quick snack of some deep fried sambaza, which were delicious, we continued on to one of the biggest fresh markets in Gisenyi. We saw ladies pounding cassava leaves, and stopped to eat some fruit. The tree tomatoes in Rwanda by the way are delicious.
Ibyiwacu Restaurant - Next we ate a quick Rwandan food lunch at a local restaurant. Buffets are very common in Rwanda, you choose all your different starches, with beans, and a couple of different sauces, and you can choose if you want meat or without meal. Overall, very good and fresh food, a little plain, but good with some extra chili sauce.

Kigali Serena Hotel Review
A review of tthe Serena Hotel in Kigali, Rwanda. The hotel is about 30 minutes from the Kigali airport.
This visit (October 2021) was my second visit to the hotel. My first visit was about 6 years ago and the hotel looked incredible! After 6 years, I'd expect some wear and tear - but I didn't see any - the hotel was just beautiful.
Super comfortable and a great place to stay when in Kigali!
Please excuse the bouncy video at the end of the room. I was really tired when I shot that part.
