About Cyangugu
Cyangugu (now Rusizi) curls around the southern tip of Lake Kivu, looking across the water to the Congolese city of Bukavu. For travellers it is the restful bookend to Nyungwe Forest, after chimpanzee treks and canopy walks, the lakeshore's fish restaurants and fishing-boat sunsets are the perfect decompression. Tea estates carpet the hills between town and forest, and boat trips explore the lake's island-studded southern reaches.
