Tailored to your skill level and schedule, this unique tour offers an authentic glimpse into village life, set against majestic volcanoes and the serene Lake Ruhondo.

Starting in Musanze (formerly Ruhengeri), the journey begins with a 4km uphill ride on a paved road, quickly transitioning to scenic off-road paths.
