I did the five day bike tour from Gisenyi to Kamembe last summer and loved it. It was easy to set up the trip through company owner Bruno. Albert was a great guide. The mountain bike was in good condition. The route was beautiful and hilly – sometimes I walked my bike up short steep sections. One day we opted for tarmac because I was sick, but, as is the case with all paved roads in Rwanda, there was a wide shoulder and very little traffic so it was very pleasant. There was road construction in a couple of places; it wasn’t a problem, but it means that the CNT may need to be re-routed some day or succumb to some paved sections. I don’t view this as a problem because, as I said, the tarmac in Rwanda is very interesting and pleasant to ride on – these thoroughfares are teaming with local pedestrians and bike riders. We usually ate a simple lunch (brochette and skewered potatoes or soup) at a local eatery during the day and had a big delicious dinner at the hotel at night. Swimming in the lake at the end of the day was divine. Albert organized a boat ride to a beautiful island one afternoon outside of Kibuye which was very interesting. I’m a solo female and never felt unsafe; Rwanda is a very safe country, but the kids follow you in droves and can be a little overwhelming – I brought hackie sacks and other gifts for them. I highly recommend this trip and this outfitter.

It was a great trip. I did the full 5 days with 3 friends. Thank you Bruno for the smooth organisation.

I did a 4 day bike trail with my daughter. It was just great. Magnificent views, nice hotels and a great guide. Thank you Bruno for this experience.
