About Gisenyi for Solo Travelers
Rwanda's beach town on the volcanic shores of Lake Kivu — a laid-back solo escape where the lake is impossibly beautiful and the DRC is visible across the water.

Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Gisenyi sits on Lake Kivu at the Congo border and is one of Rwanda's most laid-back towns for solo exploration — the lakefront is beautiful, the beach clubs are social, and day trips across to Goma (DRC) are possible with some advance logistics. The lake kayaking is spectacular solo. Very safe with a relaxed expat and NGO community.
