LAKE KIVU
Rwanda’s calling card may be the mountain gorilla, but its attractions don’t stop the lake aboard the (), a 10-cabin, solar-powered vessel operated by the South Africa–based Mantis Group. Complete with an onboard swimming pool and cocktail bar, it’s billed as the first motorized yacht to sail Lake Kivu, with two- and three-night cruise itineraries between Gisenyi in the north and Nyamasheke in the south that include guided hikes, bird-watching, and insights into Rwandan village life. Who needs gorillas?
