2/9 • Kigali – Lake Bulera
Today's the big day! Our Royal Enfields cover the first miles on a beautiful tarmacked road over hills and we enjoy our first off-road experience heading towards the Volcanoes National Park. When the road climbs up to a 2,500 m pass, we discover the breathtaking view of the “Virungas” (volcanoes in Swahili), including Mount Karisimbi at 4,500 m.
87 miles including 37 miles of trails

3/9 • Lake Bulera – Gisenyi
An early start for those who opt to take a trek through the old-growth forest which envelop the volcanoes, joining a local guide in search of gorillas. The rest of you will take the bikes for a spin in the surrounding area. Before lunch, we pass through Ruhengeri to take in all the sights and sounds of its market. In the afternoon, we get back on the saddle for a short, yet stunning leg heading to Lake Kivu. Dinner and sunset by the waterside.
68 miles including 28 miles of trails

Today's short leg lets us make the most of the eastern flank of Lake Kivu and leads us to the splendid road of the Congo-Nile Watershed. We'll enjoy a few miles of track at the end of the leg, which lead us to a heavenly spot where we bask in one last lakeside sunset and sample some local grilled fish.

5/9 • Kibuye – Kitabi
This morning, we ride on the hills along the lake between terraced crops and hypnotic fields of tea. In the afternoon we ride on a splendid tarmacked road, hurtling through the heart of the majestic Nyungwe forest, forming a natural border with Burundi at almost 2500 meters above sea level.

Today's an intense leg with a complete change of landscape. Leaving the old-growth forest, we head east on great tracks, the perfect playground for our Royal Enfields. Back in the valleys we stop off at Nyanza, where we visit an ancient royal hut and delve into the region's ancestral history. The day ends near Bugesera district, the perfect place for Ornithology as it is home to an unbelievable 600+ bird species.
