    Expert road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride.

    Called the most beautiful road in Rwanda, it includes a first sector of eats and drinks on Lake Kivu and then enters the rainforest.

    

    We have decided to include this option even if it is not a complete tour. However, it would be a shame not to mention these 200 km of pure perfect asphalt and varied and

    An almost completely road route. You will cross the rainforest on a 70km paved road. Watch out for potholes: it is perhaps the only poorly maintained road in Rwanda.

    Inside the forest you will find several groups of monkeys, which you should not give too much confidence. You will also find several military

    Expert gravel ride. Very good fitness required. Some portions of the Tour may require you to push your bike.

    Among the tours that we propose, certainly the most demanding in terms of terrain and height difference.

    We have chosen Kibuye as the start and finish of the track. It is a location on the shores of Lake Kivu that has various solutions and accommodations to give you the opportunity to spend a night before

    On this tour you will touch one of the highest points in Rwanda. It is a real mountain, with a peak at 2850 metres. So be prepared for a lot of elevation gain and lower temperatures.

    The route takes place in the area of the volcanoes, which you will be able to see directly from the track, and includes

    Expert gravel ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly paved surfaces. Suitable for all skill levels.

    It is a very fast route, on wide and perfectly groomed dirt roads. You will find yourself in contact with nature and with the local population, even if this (by Rwandan standards) is one of the quietest and least populated areas you will encounter.

    The route takes place very close to the nature reserve

    A classic ride to familiarize yourself with the roads and gravel of Rwanda. Directly from the city center, you can leave the paved roads shortly after and head towards Bumbogo hill. It's a steep but short climb and the surface is perfect red clay. You will return to Kigali entering the city from the
