Discover Rwanda by Bike
Why follow the well-worn paths to South Africa, Kenya or Tanzania, when Rwanda has so much to offer the discerning traveller? Of course, the Big Five are here – lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo – but Rwanda offers more: rare encounters with mountain gorillas, playful monkeys and inquisitive chimpanzees. Bird lovers will be enchanted by an extraordinary array of species in every imaginable colour. Even butterflies accompany you on your way, fluttering like fragments of a rainbow. Imagine experiencing all this natural wonder on two wheels – a cycling journey that challenges and rewards in equal measure. If it sounds a little adventurous, that’s because it is. And that’s exactly why Rwanda is perfect for those who long to ride beyond the ordinary.
A Landscape of Climbing and Discovery
With more than a thousand hills, Rwanda is not for the faint of heart – but for those who embrace the climb. You’ll follow diverse trails: gravel roads, winding mountain paths, volcanic terrain and lakeside tracks, each one offering its own challenge and reward. The gradients are real, but so too is the satisfaction when you reach the top – where views stretch endlessly and every breath feels earned.
Nature and Culture, Woven Together
Cycling through Rwanda means more than beautiful landscapes – it means connection. To the land, yes, but also to the people. Every day brings something new: from pristine national parks to villages steeped in tradition. As you pedal, you’ll feel both the pulse of the natural world and the quiet rhythm of local life. No two days are the same, and every moment brings a deeper understanding of Rwanda’s rich, multifaceted identity.
Why choose a tailor-made cycling journey through Rwanda with CvA travel?
A tailor-made cycling holiday in Rwanda is not just about the route you follow—it’s about the way you choose to experience the journey. At CvA travel, we believe in travel that reflects who you are, and how you like to move through the world. No two cyclists are the same, and no two journeys should be either.
Whether you follow one of our thoughtfully designed itineraries or prefer to shape your own path with our guidance, every detail is tailored to your rhythm, your preferences and your level of challenge. Along the way, you’re accompanied by experienced local guides and wildlife experts—people who know the land intimately, and who share it with quiet pride and genuine warmth.
We travel with care. That means low-impact, responsible tourism, always with respect for the landscapes we pass through and the communities we meet. And because we choose routes that lie far beyond the well-worn tracks, you’ll discover a side of Rwanda that few others ever see: remote highlands, peaceful lakeshores, forest paths alive with birdsong and colour.
What remains are not just the kilometres you’ve cycled, but the moments in between: a shared smile on the roadside, the hush of the forest as a gorilla appears, the quiet satisfaction of a climb conquered. It is these moments that make the journey truly unforgettable.
