Wildlife Worth the Journey
Forget South Africa, Tanzania or Kenya for a moment – Rwanda holds its own. Yes, the Big Five roam here too. But you’ll also find chimpanzees, monkeys, brilliantly coloured birds, and more butterflies than you can count. And then, of course, there are the mountain gorillas – a once-in-a-lifetime encounter in their lush, high-altitude habitat. Imagine pairing that with the rhythm of the road beneath your tyres. It’s possible. And it’s unforgettable.
A Cyclist’s Challenge – and Reward
Rwanda’s nickname isn’t poetic – it’s literal. With a thousand hills comes a thousand climbs. But for adventurers on two wheels, that’s part of the magic. You’ll pedal over red dirt tracks, past volcanoes and crater lakes, through emerald valleys and cloud forests. Yes, some gradients will test your legs – but the view from the top, and the satisfaction of the journey, make it all worth it.
