The first European to visit the lake was GermanCount Adolf von Götzen in 1894. Since then it has been caught up in the conflict between Hutu and Tutsi people in Rwanda, and their allies in DR Congo, which led to the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and the First and Second Congo Wars. Lake Kivu gained notoriety as a place where many of the victims of the genocide were dumped.
Geography
The lake covers a total surface area of some 2,700km2 (1,040sqmi) and stands at a height of 1,460 metres (4,790ft) above sea level. Some 1 370km2 or 58% of the lake's waters lie within DRC borders. The lake bed sits upon a rift valley that is slowly being pulled apart, causing volcanic activity in the area, and making it particularly deep: its maximum depth of 480m (1,575ft) is ranked eighteenth in the world.
Kivu is also the name for the entire region surrounding Lake Kivu, including the portions in Rwanda which contain the vast majority of the lake area's population (the contiguous towns of Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo and Gisenyi, Rwanda, with a combined population approaching 1,000,000, form the largest urbanised area in the Lake Kivu area). The area is characterized by lush vegetation and an extended growing season due in part to its high altitude (1500m or 4900ft at the lakeshore) and the volcanic nature of its soil. The Kivu region represents the high point of the East African Rift Valley.
Kivu: Inside one of the World’s Most Dangerous Regions
In this region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, children are forced into militias and rape is used as a weapon of war ... Brut reporter Charles Villa went to North Kivu, one of the world’s most dangerous regions.
In the documentary, Villa asked a militia warlord about his enlisting child soldiers in a tense interview. He met with Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege to discuss his work with victims of rape as a weapon of war, and later visited a coltan mine, where young men, sometimes children, work in conditions described as human rights violations by Amnesty International.

What If You Fell Into Lake Kivu?
If you were going for a refreshing swim, the last thing you’d expect is to suffocate from toxic gases. But when it comes to Lake Kivu, this is one dangerous body of water you wouldn’t want to dive into. What makes this lake so hazardous? What would be the physical consequences of swimming in it? And how could the lake be on the verge of a toxic explosion?

Paradise Malahide Hotel (also spelled Paradis Malahide) is an amazing hotel on the shores of Lake Kivu, near Gisenyi Rwanda. The hotel occupies a small peninsula that's surrounded by the lake water, making it incredibly serene, peaceful and beautiful.

Congo: Jungle Fever | Deadliest Journeys
00:00 In South Kivu in Congo, the city of Shabunda is one of the most isolated in the country. Its access is so difficult that life is more expensive there than in any European city. Thus, the poorest families come to look for food there by bicycle or motorbike. These convicts of the road sometimes transport up to 250 kilos of goods for several days, without worrying about the dangers. Without ever giving up, these travelers are almost all considered heroes because "he who does not travel does not know the value of men", according to the Congolese.

One my latest trip to Rwanda, my wife, son, and my Dad and I, all stayed at Paradis Malahide Hotel for a few nights to relax and enjoy Lake Kivu.
We had a bungalow style room, which cost about $90 US per night for a double, self contained.
The highlight for me was the actual grounds of the hotel, being about to get incredible views of Lake Kivu while relaxing on an outdoor sofa. The service at Paradis Malahide and the food - particularly breakfast - was also incredible.
If you visit Gisenyi, Rwanda, and have a few days to relax at Lake Kivu, I would highly recommend Paradise Malahide.

In this region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, children are forced into militias and rape is used as a weapon of war ... Brut reporter Charles Villa went to North Kivu, one of the world’s most dangerous regions.
In the documentary, Villa asked a militia warlord about his enlisting child soldiers in a tense interview. He met with Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege to discuss his work with victims of rape as a weapon of war, and later visited a coltan mine, where young men, sometimes children, work in conditions described as human rights violations by Amnesty International.

Fighting between government forces and M23 rebels has intensified in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Battles are taking place around the town of Sake, near the Rwanda border. Most of those injured have been transferred to the nearby provincial capital, Goma. Health workers there say they are overwhelmed.

Paradise Malahide Hotel (also spelled Paradis Malahide) is an amazing hotel on the shores of Lake Kivu, near Gisenyi Rwanda. The hotel occupies a small peninsula that's surrounded by the lake water, making it incredibly serene, peaceful and beautiful.
One my latest trip to Rwanda, my wife, son, and my Dad and I, all stayed at Paradis Malahide Hotel for a few nights to relax and enjoy Lake Kivu.
We had a bungalow style room, which cost about $90 US per night for a double, self contained.
The highlight for me was the actual grounds of the hotel, being about to get incredible views of Lake Kivu while relaxing on an outdoor sofa. The service at Paradis Malahide and the food - particularly breakfast - was also incredible.
If you visit Gisenyi, Rwanda, and have a few days to relax at Lake Kivu, I would highly recommend Paradise Malahide.

00:00 In South Kivu in Congo, the city of Shabunda is one of the most isolated in the country. Its access is so difficult that life is more expensive there than in any European city. Thus, the poorest families come to look for food there by bicycle or motorbike. These convicts of the road sometimes transport up to 250 kilos of goods for several days, without worrying about the dangers. Without ever giving up, these travelers are almost all considered heroes because "he who does not travel does not know the value of men", according to the Congolese.

The first European to visit the lake was GermanCount Adolf von Götzen in 1894. Since then it has been caught up in the conflict between Hutu and Tutsi people in Rwanda, and their allies in DR Congo, which led to the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and the First and Second Congo Wars. Lake Kivu gained notoriety as a place where many of the victims of the genocide were dumped.
Geography
The lake covers a total surface area of some 2,700km2 (1,040sqmi) and stands at a height of 1,460 metres (4,790ft) above sea level. Some 1 370km2 or 58% of the lake's waters lie within DRC borders. The lake bed sits upon a rift valley that is slowly being pulled apart, causing volcanic activity in the area, and making it particularly deep: its maximum depth of 480m (1,575ft) is ranked eighteenth in the world.
For Germain Nkinzo, an M23 leader in Minova, a commercial lake port in SouthKivu province, the "salongo" is about instilling "discipline" and "changing mentalities" in order to accelerate economic and social development.
