RWANDA BURUNDI UGANDA

Enjoy the diversity of 3 landlocked countries, but filled with mountains and (crater) lakes.

​

Uganda is known as ‘The Pearl of Africa’ while Rwanda is known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills”. This is a challenging motorcycle journey through two wonderful and diverse countries. We see the most beautiful parts of both Rwanda and Uganda. While being close neighbors, they are very different in culture, landscape and development. Rwanda is a mountain-packed country where we ride challenging offroad tracks and ride along volcanos.  In Uganda, we visit the Gorillas and Chimpanzees and ride through a national park and over beautiful scenic roads.  Burundi is much less known and less developed, situated at the longest freshwater lake of the world. Unlike many sub-Saharan African countries, the borders of Burundi were not created by European powers. Instead, they were conceived by the original Burundian monarchy.

 

We start the trip in the capital of Rwanda and ride directly to Burundi, the neighboring country. Here we ride beautiful routes and visit the capital, Bujumbura, on the gigantic Lake Tanganyika. In Rwanda, we ride the Congo Nile trail along Lake Kivu, visit the volcano area, and ride a beautiful off-road route into Uganda’s impenetrable forest.  In Uganda, we slalom along crater lakes and through national parks before looping back into Rwanda. We end with a game ride at the Rwanda plains.

 

An intensive, diverse, and fulfilling trip through three special African countries
