The Congo Nile Trail refers to the 227 km trail starting from the northern shores of Lake Kivu in Gisenyi and ending in Rusizi. This amazing trail offers a beautiful footpath in 22.5 km of the valley fields with several viewpoints to Lake Kivu. The Congo Nile trail is popular for hikers to discover Rwanda's Landscape, and wildlife, and it draws you very close to the communities, giving you a clear insight into Rwanda's culture. The trail derives its name from the watershed which separates the Congo River and the Nile Rivers.

The rain forests, bamboo forests and fields track through the Lake Kivu belt on the shores of the Lake. Hikers on this trail get a chance to take a glimpse at some of the remaining natural forests in Africa. The coffee plantations, tea fields and village setups plus the hidden beaches on Lake Kivu are some of the few you expect here. Hiking this trail takes about 10 days on the 227 km trip. It's combined with a boat ride sometimes to explore more of Lake Kivu with the local people, giving you a chance to interact with the communities around. Hiking the Nile trail is a bit difficult but offers a rewarding experience with an elevation of 2630 metres above sea level. With this, you will be able to visit the waterfalls, tea plantations and community-based tourism.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="851" img_size="full" style="vc_box_rounded"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="648" img_size="full"][vc_separator color="black" css=".vc_custom_1728385665483{margin-top: 1px !important;margin-bottom: 11px !important;}"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
