Kamembe Airport serves as a vital entry point for travelers heading to the southwestern part of Rwanda, particularly the town of Cyangugu and the broader Lake Kivu area. The airport itself is small and functional, with a single runway that provides dramatic approaches over the lake and terraced hills. Visitors often use it to access nearby Nyungwe Forest National Park or to cross into Bukavu, DR Congo via the nearby border. The experience is intimate and efficient, with minimal crowds and a local feel.
Don't miss
- Scenic approach over Lake Kivu with views of the surrounding mountains and terraced hillsides
- Proximity to Nyungwe Forest National Park, a prime destination for chimpanzee tracking and canopy walks
- Easy access to the Cyangugu border crossing for travel to Bukavu, DR Congo
