During a visit to Kigali, we happened to meet Bruno. We had long dreamed of cycling through Rwanda. When he told us about the Congo Nile Trail, we were immediately hooked.

So, during Christmas 2024, we spent almost a week in the saddle during the day and spent the nights in relaxing accommodations, enjoying Rwandan hospitality. Bruno had organized the whole package for us, including equipment, a guide, and accommodations—it was well structured down to the last detail and worked perfectly.

On our year-long trip around the world, these days cycling in the mountains by Lake Kivu were one of the most memorable experiences!

Had the pleasure of cycling the Congo Nile Trail together with a couple of days with Albert, couldn’t wish for a better guide! He knew everything in terms of history, culture, customs & had wonderful stories to tell. Time flew by very slowly (in a good way that is) as we cycled past villages where we (mostly me haha) were visited with friendly and curious faces. Accomodation was perfect for my standard and I really enjoyed the incredibly well arranged organisation of this trip. For me it was definitely an unforgettable experience which I’ll forever cherish. Thank you again Albert & Bruno for allowing travellers to experience the beauty of Rwanda in this way!

I cycled the trail solo (e-bike). Albert, the guide, was fantastic. He knows everything about the trail and in case of a breakdown (a broken chain), he quickly got me back on track! The transportation to and from Kigali was also well organised! Thanks Bruno and, of course, Albert for this amazing adventure.

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.
