Overview
Let two wheels take you to the high altitudes of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Nyungwe National Park and the lowest valleys of the Virunga Mountains. Join a thrilling 11-day cycling trip in Rwanda, guided by a passionate and knowledgeable local leader and surrounded by a group of like-minded adventurers. Follow the UCI Road World Championship route and the Congo Nile Trail, plus pedal your way to unforgettable landscapes at Lake Kivu and Akagera National Park. In between your adventures on the saddle, you’ll visit local artisan centres, seek out zebras, giraffes, elephants and more on a safari and maybe meet the royal Inyambo cattle at the King’s Palace. With optional activities like gorilla trekking, canopy walkways, and sunset boat rides, a rewarding journey full of natural beauty awaits.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. This trip does not include gorilla trekking, but can be pre-booked through our local company as an option. The cost is USD$1500 per person. A lower price may be available in low season (Nov-May). Once confirmed, the permit is non-refundable. Please see the Money Matters section of the Essential Trip Information for further details.
2.This is a new trip for 2027. As such it is possible small adjustments may happen to the itinerary as we continue to fine tune the itinerary.
3. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
4. Bicycle hire is included in your trip price. Please advise your height at time of booking so as we can organize a suitable sized bike.
5. Bike helmets are compulsory on this trip. We are unable to hire bike helmets locally so please ensure you bring your own bike helmet from home.
6. On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g., a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker.
7. If you are thinking of bringing your own electric or non-electric bike on this trip, you must advise us at time of booking.
