Create an itinerary including Congo Nile Trail
Encompassed by scenery of true African wilderness with a view of the Nile and Congo rivers, Congo Nile Trail provides an active vacation in nature. The trail is rustic--you'll need four-wheel drive, or plan to hike or cycle--and prepare for at least two- to three-days' journey. Besides of the beauty of unspoiled nature, the trail gives you the opportunity to glimpse the rural life through native villages. As this is a home to many African animals, consider going gorilla or primate tracking or birding as you traverse the trail. Before you head to Rubavu, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Rubavu road trip planning tool, to make sure you see all that Rubavu has to offer, including Congo Nile Trail.

    This was an amazing trek. We started in Gisenyi and spent three days walking through fields and along the shore ofLake Kivu. Our guide, Mansuet Umugwaneza, knew the area well and scheduled our trip...
