Get to know about the history, livings and culture of the fishermen in 4 hours by Joining fisherman in their magnificent traditional linked boats with their spectacular songs; paddle with them heading to middle of the lake. This fishing activity offers “Isambaza night fishing” and guided boat trips in Lake Kivu by fishermen who sustain their lives by fishing. Isambazas are tiny fishes; caught using a widespread net and three large boats connected to each other.
