3-Day Best Hiking Trail in Rwanda Adventure

The Congo Nile Trail. The name is as exotic as it is confusing. As the name of an African hiking and biking trail, the name makes you think of two completely different African locations. The name of the hiking trail comes from the fact that the hike passes along the mountain ridge of the African Congo-Nile divide which divides the rainfall into two of Africa’s largest rivers. All rainfall that falls to the west of this ridge trickles down and eventually ends up in the Congo River. All rainfalls which fall to the east of this ridge eventually end up in the Nile River. On this day, you will have an opportunity to explore 18 km of this great trail starting from Rubavu early morning and ending the hike at Cyimbili where you will sleep.

In the past years, Africa and Rwanda have risen as one of the world’s foremost upcoming ecotourism destinations. Even though Rwanda is mostly known for its mountain gorillas, the country has a lot more to offer than this. Known as the safest and cleanest country in Africa, it’s thousands of rolling hills and welcoming people it has made itself known as one of the best African countries for hiking and biking. From this day, you will be able to hike from Cyimbili to Kinunu wonders with a great opportunity of having nice views of Lake Kivu, locals, coffee plantations, and birds among many other great things to see.
