Volcanoes, Lakes and Gorillas

Spend seven nights exploring Rwanda, the Land of a Thousand Hills, by e-bike and on foot with The Slow Cyclist.

Discover a land of sprawling lakes, verdant hillsides, and smoking volcanoes, with the opportunity to share an unforgettable encounter with the country's famed mountain gorillas.

There is so much more to this tiny country than most realise. Accompanied by our passionate and thoughtful local team, you'll visit inspiring community projects, learn about Rwanda's recent tragic past, and explore parts of this magnificent country that few visitors ever get to see.

Journey highlights:

• Trek to see Rwanda's most famous inhabitants, its mountain gorillas
• Cycle through the breathtaking landscapes and villages of Rwanda that very few outsiders get to truly experience.
• Visit Kigali's extraordinarily moving Genocide Memorial Museum in the company of a survivor of the 1994 atrocities.
• Enjoy a drink overlooking the picturesque Idjwi Island on Lake Kivu, one of Africa’s Great Lakes.
• Visit a number of community projects that The Slow Cyclist is involved in supporting through our charitable giving.
• Experience The Slow Cyclist's way of travelling, everything is included from the moment you land.
