Hiking, Lake Kivu and Cycling

The Congo Nile Trail is an ideal option for anybody seeking an adventure that will allow travelers to see Rwanda’s traditional culture and landscape while venturing off the main path. A unique view of local life and beauty may be had on this 227km track that goes adjacent to Lake Kivu’s eastern side.

The journey takes 10 days on foot and five days by bicycle, starting and ending in Rubavu and Rusizi.

Gisenyi and Kamembe are in the center of the path, which is a mix of hard track ways that turn up in several hills.

 

You will see many plantations along the path, such as those growing tea, coffee, and bananas, as well as a number of communities and estates. Along the walk and at Lake Kivu, you may also spot a variety of bird species, such as white-tailed blue flycatchers and white-breasted cormorant species.

Anyone who enjoys a good challenge, the outdoors, wildlife, and a good rush of adrenaline should definitely experience the Congo Nile Trail.

It’s crucial to remember that the path is one of the hardest to trek or bike in the area in Nyungwe Forest National Park because of its steep and rugged terrain.

I hope this helps in the promotion Africa Tour Rwanda trip itinerary.
