Bukavu City Guide: Lakeside Charm in DR Congo with United Travels

Welcome to Bukavu, the vibrant capital of the South Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nestled at the southern tip of the stunning Lake Kivu, bordering Rwanda, Bukavu offers a unique blend of natural beauty, bustling city life, and poignant history. Despite the challenges faced by the region, the city serves as a crucial hub and a gateway to incredible natural wonders, including endangered eastern lowland gorillas. Its scenic location, spread across several hills descending towards the lake, provides breathtaking views and a cooler climate than much of DR Congo. [1, 2, 5]
