A visit to the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhonda offers an added experience to your gorilla trekking safari while in Volcanoes national park Rwanda. For most tourists 3-4 hours is enough time traveling from Bwindi rain forest Southwestern Uganda to northern Rwanda Volcanoes National park. But instead of taking one non stop drive consider stopping off along the way to do boat ride or canoeing experience on the twin Lakes of Burera and Ruhondo and then continue to your accommodation.
The Boat ride and canoe take 1 hour and offer a uniquely Rwanda local experience, enjoying beautiful scenery, spotting birds, meeting the local fishermen and dinning on delicious fish and food at one of the lodges or bar and restaurant on the lake shores.
