Unforgettable Cycling Adventure in Rwanda!
I had an amazing experience with Gorilla Bike Tours! From start to finish, everything was organized perfectly. The bikes were in excellent condition, and all safety gear was provided. Our guide, Claude, was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about Rwanda’s culture and landscapes. The route took us through beautiful countryside, local villages, and scenic spots I would never have found on my own. I felt safe, well-supported, and fully immersed in the adventure. Highly recommend Gorilla Bike Tours to anyone looking for a unique and thrilling way to explore Rwanda!

Kicking it with Claude in Kigali!
Fantastic! Claude is a wonderful guide. He knew exactly the kind of experience I wanted in Kigali. We had a splendid Sunday morning riding a variety of roads and paths, from smooth car free boulevards to bike paths in a nature preserve to bustling city streets- he knew it all! Everything I hoped for and more. Thank you!!

Fantastic mountain bike route Northwest Kigali
We're visiting Rwanda. As in the group some of us are cyclists we found out where we could rent equipment to do a route through the wonderful landscape of the outskirts of Kigali. Through a contact we were given Claude's contact. He came to the hotel, we chose equipment, day and time following his advice. Average price. The route was fantastic , 90% off the road, 3 locals one with backpack with spare parts just in case and the other two escorts marking the way and making the route enjoyable, advises tell us and making photos and videos. Route of 43 km approx with 900 m elevation , medium difficulty. A joy. I recommend it.

Kigali Car Free Day
Gorilla Bike Tours – Mountain Bike Adventure Through Kigali
Had an incredible ride today with Gorilla Bike Tours during Kigali’s Car Free Day. Claude, hands down the best tour guide in Kigali, led us on some stunning scenic off-road routes I would never have discovered on my own. His local knowledge, attention to safety, and calm guidance made the experience smooth and enjoyable.
The ride included a refreshing fruit and water stop, and we had time to really soak in the sights, sounds, and natural beauty of Kigali from a completely new perspective. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Kigali beyond the usual roads—especially on a mountain bike!
