Palm Garden Resort is a beautifully relaxed, owner-run boutique hotel located right on the clear waters of Lake Kivu.

With incredibly scenic views from most areas of this lake front property, Palm Garden Resort is the ideal location to watch the local activity on the lake, with dhows sailing back and forth between Rwanda and the DRC.

The resort comprises standard rooms in the main building, with 3 stunning stand alone cottages, only metres from the lapping lake water.  The cottages are built entirely from local volcanic rock, and outside showers add to the fun experience.

Activities in the area include water sports, fishing, boat cruises, cycling routes, hiking and village visits.

This is the perfect combination with an exciting gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park, as it is an easy 2 hour drive from the park.
