Congo Nile Trail

And gradually, the roads improve significantly—yes, even here, the Chinese are hard at work enhancing the infrastructure. Before you know it, you're speeding down a newly paved stretch of road, descending from the hills. Along the route, there are various campsites, guesthouses, and lodges, so you can choose whether you want to go fully back to basics or enjoy a bit more luxury during this trek.

Not much of a cyclist? Feel like you've spent enough time on two wheels back home? No problem—you can also hike this trail! Think of it as a monster trek lasting 10 days, with nights spent in guesthouses or even camping. The REAL deal. In those 10 days, you'll experience an incredibly beautiful part of Rwanda while staying active. The Four Days Marches in Nijmegen? They don’t even come close! And certainly not as scenic!
