Mantis Kivu Queen
A Mantis Waterway Experience
The Kivu Queen uBuranga is an intimate 10-cabin houseboat with a local staff complement, enabling us to curate an exceptional experience for each guest and at the same time provide a much-needed income to the local community. In addition to guided hikes and bird watching, we provide insight into the quaint Rwandan villages through a variety of interactions based on culture and cuisine.
