Explore the heart of East Africa on this cycling adventure through Rwanda and Uganda.
Spend 15 days on a bike cycling through a breathtaking labyrinth of trails that will take you along the foothills of mountains, deep into lush valleys, and skirting along the edges of dense jungle. Each day is a new landscape and a new adventure.
You and your group will begin on Uganda’s western edge at The Rwenzoris – Africa’s tallest mountain range. Rwenzoris means Mountains of the Moon and the unbelievable craters and cloud-covered peaks will make a deep impression. Though you won’t be summiting any mountains, you will cycle up into the green foothills and highlands for some fantastic views of the surrounding region.
If you’d like to combine cycling with wild life sighting, this is a perfect opportunity. You’ll take a break from the bikes to enjoy an action packed safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park as well as do some gorilla tracking in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Other highlights include a stop along the tranquil shores of Lake Bunyonyi, a challenging climb up the Congo Nile Trail, and fun, welcoming chats with the locals at each stop.
By the time you ride in to Kigali, Rwanda, your last stop, you’ll be amazed at everything you’ve accomplished in two weeks. Enquire today to learn more about this incredible cycling adventure through Uganda and Rwanda.

Itinerary
We cycle 584 kms in 11 cycling days and climb a total of 9607 m. This is a tough trip due to the amount of ascending and the dirt terrain. However, there are many options to adjust the days' ride in length and or difficulty with the region's vast network of trails. Your knowledgeable local guide will be there to assist you on route options each day.
Vehicle support, which allows cyclists the option to get into the truck, is available on all cycling days, however it will be limited on certain days. When riding on single track the vehicle will meet the group at predetermined points. This will be the case on days 2, 6, 8, 9, 12 and 13. Your guide will give a full briefing the night before the ride.
