The Congo Nile Trail

The Congo Nile Trail is without a doubt one of the best hiking trails in Africa. The trail can be completed on foot, by bike or by kayak. The Congo Nile Trail traverses a series of interconnected single paths, dirt roads and hiking tracks through the tropical Kivu Belt in Rwanda, the land of a thousand hills in the heart of Africa. As it stretches along the scenic shores of Lake Kivu, hikers on the Congo Nile Trail trekk by some of Africa’s few remaining tropical rainforests, vast coffee plantations and hidden beaches.
