Kivu lake shoreline at Rusizi Rwanda In the past, Lake Kivu drained toward the north, contributing to the White Nile. About 13,000 to 9,000 years ago, volcanic activity blocked Lake Kivu's outlet to the watershed of the Nile. The volcanism produced mountains, including the Virunga, which rose between Lake Kivu and Lake Edward, to the north. Water from Lake Kivu was then forced south down the Ruzizi. This, in turn, raised the level of Lake Tanganyika, which overflowed down the Lukuga River. Dinner and overnight at Peace guest house.

She set up a research camp in the valley between Mount Karisimbi and Mount Bisoke hence the name ‘Karisoke’. Her works to protect the mountains gorillas and their habitat would lead her into conflict with negative forces including poachers and she was eventually killed. She was buried among the gorillas near her Karisoke Research Center. The survival of the mountain gorillas is largely credited to after the revealing visit to the Dian Fossey grave site (tomb) and her research center. She demystified the negative perception of mountain gorillas as being savage beasts living in the jungles of Africa as she discovered gentle and intelligent creatures.
