5/5

The Congo Nile Trail, along the shore of Lake Kivu, is one of the best bike trails in the world. We have adopted it slightly to be the ideal gravel ride.

Probably the best bike touring route in East Africa, the Congo Nile Trail in Rwanda traverses a stunning network of dirt roads, unique lakeside trails and a switchback through Nyungwe National Forest Park.

It is a must-do route for any cycle tourer, and a great introduction to Africa for those who haven’t cycled the motherland before.
