It was discovered by the [[Cassini–Huygens|Cassini]] probe. The lake is near Titan's north pole and is named after [[Lake Kivu]] in the [[Democratic Republic of Congo]] and [[Rwanda]]. In 2012, Cassini spotted an [[Infrared]] glint off the lake. The aspects of it suggested waves.<ref>{{cite web|title=PIA18433: Sunglint on a Hydrocarbon Lake |url=http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA18433|publisher=[[NASA]]|date=30 October 2014|access-date=2 June 2016}}</ref>[[File:PIA10008 Seas and Lakes on Titan.jpg|thumb|225px|none|Kivu Lacus is near the center of this image]]
