When I opened the curtains in the morning, I was awestruck by the view of Akeza Island, Amashyuza Peninsula and the backdrop of those hills I always write about. That was a sight to behold.

Breakfast was served on the deck of an open-air restaurant whose designer drew inspiration from a ship. The sight of the lake, coupled with the sound of shuffled waves, made me feel like a passenger aboard a cruise ship.

I was sojourning at Galaxy Kivu Hotel in Nyamyumba Sector, Rubavu District. The beauty of Nyamyumba Beach is attracting investors, who in turn, are transforming the strip into a tourism hotspot.

Speaking of tourism, there is no shortage of activities in the area. Product diversification is taking shape. Although the best is yet to come, Rubavu-bound tourists are already spoiled for choice.

I didn’t have to leave the hotel to find things to do. Galaxy Kivu offers thrilling jet-skiing, kayaking and boating experiences. After indulging in my favorite water sports, I took a dip in the swimming pool. Then I ordered a drink from the poolside bar, kicked back and relaxed.

The last time I posted something about my experiences at Galaxy Kivu Hotel, I mentioned how a toothache threatened to cut short my vacation. With help from the hotel’s management, I was able to secure an appointment with a dentist. When my decaying tooth was fixed, the good times resumed.

Galaxy Kivu Hotel offers much more than simply accommodation. The package comes with a tailor-made holiday experience. Visit the hotel’s website through the advert displayed below and learn more.
