          Truly beautiful
          Patrick was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. He was flexible and accommodating for all my needs. The tour included a boat trip around Kivu lake with stops and various beautiful islands. An unbelievable experience.

          2 days tour on lake Kivu and Karongi
          Great tour with Patrick, first day on lake Kivu and the tour of the islands where we could see monkeys, bats, local plantation and we also stopped for swimming, and second day we went to 2 different waterfalls, fishing project and we went to a village where we could learn how to weave baskets. I would highly recommend Patrick, very reliable and he really try to adapt to your needs, he is very nice and he speaks well English and French.

          excellent experience
          We had a great trip with Patrick on lake KIVU, visiting islands (monkeys, bats, pic nic, farms). Excellent guide, perfect English (pretty rare over here). Kind, professional and knowledgeable. We'll sure be back !

          Good bloke
          Good day of kayaking, for a good price. Unfortunately didn’t have time to do the other stuff. If you’re in Kibuye definitely hit up Patrick.

          Highly recommended!
          We arrived at idyllic Kibuye and after a day of doing nothing we realized we wanted to enjoy the lake even more. On the day itself we were recommended Patrick, which was the best tip ever. He met us with the motorcycle taxi and we hopped on the boat, steered by his brother. We visited 4 islands: monkey, Napoleon, peace and farmer island. Stunning! Why do I recommend Patrick eco tours? We made an agreement beforehand which he kept to, even though we were away longer! Reliable! Extremely knowledgeable- birds, nature etc Good, friendly people Boat was comfortable Easy contact!

          Great tour at the lake Kivu
          We had a great time with Patrick in lake Kivu. He picked us up on time and took a tour visiting 4 islands. He shared with us a lot of interesting things about the nature around the people living around. The lake and places we stopped where beautiful. An amazing peaceful morning. He was very nice answering all our questions about any topic! He also pointed us to an awesome local restaurant and helped us buying from a mini local store.

          Beautiful boat trip
          We had a wonderful time at Lake Kivu with Patrick. We were quite lucky with the weather and managed to go at sunset which was very nice. We visited a few different islands which Patrick told us some history about. At the monkey island, Patrick also managed to attract the monkeys so we got to see them from very close!

          Great guide
          Patrick was excellent. We canoed from kibuye to Kinunu as part of the congo Nile trail. We stopped off at Napoleon island on the way. Patrick was very knowledgeable about the area and made the trip very enjoyable.

          Cruising on Sunshine
          Patrick is a fantastic host/captain. He was very accommodating and responsible with our group as we toured Lake Kivu. Patrick showed us some beautiful sights and took into consideration what we were interested in seeing. I highly recommend cruising with Patrick to see the beautiful Lake Kivu.

          Phenomenal host and responsible boat captain
          Patrick’s eco tour is awesome! On several instances he accommodated 12-14 of my friends and me on island hopping excursions and touring around the lake. His customer service and flexibility in scheduling and rates couldn’t make you feel more welcome. Visiting Kibuye would not be as sweet of an experience if you all didn’t take his tour.

          See Beautiful Kibuye By Boat
          I have taken three separate trips with Patrick over the past year - in both big and small groups - and it is always a wonderful experience. Patrick is professional, friendly, and flexible. He will tailor the trip to your schedule and site-seeing needs. Typically, the tour includes visits to three separate islands on Lake Kivu. You'll get the opportunity to see natural wildlife on the islands and will have plenty of time to relax on the comfortable boat between island stops. Very reasonable pricing compared to trips organized by local Kibuye hotels. I can't recommend Patrick highly enough!
