About this tour
Western Rwanda in one unhurried arc: two days on and around Lake Kivu — sunrise kayaking past singing fishermen, cycling a stretch of the Congo Nile Trail through hillside coffee farms — then south along the lakeshore road into Nyungwe for the canopy walkway and a dawn with the chimpanzees.
It is the itinerary for travellers who measure a trip in texture rather than checklists: paddle strokes on glass water, coffee cherries drying on raised beds, the sudden scream of a chimp community waking up. Everything is private, and the pace flexes to you.
Highlights
- Sunrise kayak on Lake Kivu among traditional fishing canoes
- Cycle the Congo Nile Trail through lakeside coffee farms
- Chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe, permit included
