Nyamyumba Hot Springs
The Nyamyumba Hot Springs, known locally by the Kinyarwanda name Amashyuza, are natural hot springs located on the eastern shore of Lake Kivu in Nyamyumba Sector, Rubavu District, Western Province, Rwanda. Situated approximately 7 kilometres from the town of Gisenyi (also known as Rubavu), the springs consist of two pools locally named "male" and "female." They lie within the western branch of the East African Rift System, near the Virunga volcanic complex, which accounts for their geothermal heating mechanism.
