Karongi: A Quiet Retreat

Sometimes we all need to get away from the chaos and noise of the city, to take a break in a tranquil setting and just kick back. When you feel like this, a weekend trip to Karongi (formerly known as Kibuye) could be just the thing you’re looking for. A little under three hours from Kigali’s Nyabugogo, Karongi is a world away. The bus ride to this small town on the shores of Lake Kivu costs RWF 2,600 each way, taking you along winding roads through green hills.
