Lake Kivu
Lake Kivu is one of the African Great Lakes, in the Albertine Rift on the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It drains south through the Ruzizi river into Lake Tanganyika, and its deep waters hold large amounts of dissolved methane. The Kingdom of Rwanda took shape in the hills to its east, and Goma, Bukavu and Gisenyi stand on its shores.
