Cycling in Rwanda: The Land of a Thousand Hills on Two Wheels

Rwanda is rapidly becoming Africa’s premier cycling destination. With its perfectly paved winding roads, challenging climbs, and breathtaking vistas, it offers an unparalleled experience for both professional cyclists and casual adventurers. At Golden Hills Safaris, we provide bespoke cycling tours that bring you closer to the landscape and the people.

Iconic Routes for Every Rider

• The Congo Nile Trail: Our most legendary route. Stretching 227km along the shores of Lake Kivu, this trail takes you through coffee plantations, tropical rainforests, and small fishing villages. You can tackle the full multi-day journey or enjoy a scenic single-stage ride.
• Twin Lakes Circuit: Cycle the ridges between Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo. This route offers stunning photographic opportunities with the majestic Virunga Volcanoes as your backdrop.
• The “Mur de Kigali”: For those with a competitive spirit, challenge yourself on the famous cobblestone climb in the heart of the capital, a highlight of the annual Tour du Rwanda.
• Tea Plantation Trails: Enjoy a more relaxed pace pedaling through the endless green carpets of the Sorwathe or Pfunda tea estates, where the air is crisp and the views are eternal.
