Quality does not tolerate compromises. Kivu Serena is a juwel in Gisenyi. The variety of the breakfast buffet is hardly to be competed. The garden and private acces to lake Kivu as well as the Pool are unbeatable assets

I loved the scenery overlooking Lake Kivu. Nirvana has a lovely pool with a good view of the lake.. Also loved the local hut inspired room designs equipped with modern toilet facilities. The location is also a walking distance to the beach side where you can board a boat to get to the natural hot water springs ("volcanic water").

Lovely location. I enjoyed taking walks on the steep stone-paved sidewalks. In the evening I was able to enjoy two cold beer drinks while talking to friends around a nice fire pit. The open flames added to the relaxation and peace of the well-landscaped gardens.

    Nice garden. Comfy restaurant area. Close to the beach and amazing view. Good variety of food. Hutts are nice. They did a Easter bunny challenge for kids, which was cute.

    really beautiful place. Has a lot of character with an incredible garden, and the safari tents are very interesting to stay in. Has an AMAZING view of the lake kivu too, which is pretty special when combined with the garden. Awesome shop with lots of local crafts with proceeds funding projects to help disadvantaged local kids and women in period poverty. Nice open restaurant/bar area, with surprisingly good food and breakfast. Had the nicest shower view I've ever had. Good tours with Koffi, who was a very friendly guide.

    The balcony was nice and the view of the lake was great. The buffet breakfast has a lot of options and was tasty. The dinner buffet was quite overpriced ($30/adult) but you can order a la carte meals from the menu for a reasonable price. It was nice to have direct access to the lake and a bit of sand to enjoy. I was traveling with 2 young kids and enjoyed having a playground on the property. The location is good and you can walk to some nearby restaurants.
