Cycling Safari through Kabale - Africa's Switzerland 8 days Day One: Entebbe - Lake Mburo
Pick up from Entebbe Airport and transfer by road 275 km to the Lake Mburo National Park. In the late afternoon game drive through this small National Park with its thrilling rich population of wildlife. Over night at the campsite by the lake.

Day Two: Lake Mburo National Park - Ndeija 54/89 km
If road conditions allow, we will start at the Western Ruiza gate, after 62 km we will meet up with the bikes at Biharwe and start riding west. We cross some marshy low-lying areas, skirting larger hills through small villages and smallholdings. Overnight at the very simple Pan Africa Motel in Ndeija after 54 km. If the Ruizi Road is impassable, we shall leave the Park from the main Sanga gate, ride 13 km on gently undulating dirt road to the main road, a total of 89 km to Ndeija.

Day Three: Ndeija - Kabale 102 km
The first part is very similar to the day before, with long low rolling hills interspersed with low lying marshes and open plains. After about 60 km we reach the hills and start to climb - the benefit being the spectacular views! Overnight at White Horse Inn.

Day Four: Kabale 65 km, all dirt roads
Probably the hardest day: we leave Kabale towards the gorgeous Lake Bunyoni, with the small matter of a 470 m climb over 10 km in the way. Views compensate as we ride over several more summits, past the local terraced fields. The highest part of the ride takes us through bamboo forest and then down to the town of Kisoro, close to the volcanic peaks of the Virungu Mountains. Overnight at Kisoro Tourist Hotel.

Day Five: Kisoro - Ruhengeri 37 km
After 10 km of dirt road we join the smooth tarmac of Rwanda. Gently sloping roads take us to the Hotel Asoferwa.

Day Six: Ruhengeri
Today is the day! Go and see the gorillas and return to the Asoferwa Hotel for a celebratory meal in the evening

Day Seven: Ruhengeri - Entebbe
Transfer in the morning to Kisoro airstrip and enjoy the amazing flight with great views over the mountains and Lake Victoria back to Entebbe.
