Mantis Kivu Marina Bay Hotel.

Perched on a hillside in Kamembe with views over Lake Kivu, Mantis Kivu Marina Bay Hotel offers a polished, resort-style base on Rwanda’s southwestern border. Its location is exceptionally practical, sitting just one kilometer from Kamembe International Airport while serving as a gateway to Nyungwe National Park for chimpanzee trekking. The 79-room property balances outdoor adventure with upscale comfort, featuring a 25-meter swimming pool, a spa, and a fitness center. Dining at La Vue Restaurant centers on sustainable, farm-to-table cuisine crafted from organic regional produce, complemented by local coffee and tea tastings. It is a highly convenient and comfortable launchpad for travelers looking to explore the lake’s islands or head deep into the nearby rainforest.
