Hike or Bike to the Fishing Village and Hot Springs:
This tour takes you to the home of Bralirwa, the famous Primus and Mützig brewery. The bay is also the starting point for the longest Rwandan trail—the Congo Nile Trail—as well as the Pfunda Loop Trail, which takes you through amazing community tea plantations. The bay is also home to the Nyamyumba Hot Springs and the Rubona Banana Market. In addition, it serves as a port for people traveling by boat to the southern part of the lake.
This tour offers diverse experiences: breathtaking scenic views, interaction with local communities, and, of course, the charm of typical African villages. Thousands of smiles and warm welcomes make up a hiking or cycling adventure that you will cherish for a lifetime.
A visit to this region is not only about adventure but also about cultural immersion and discovery. Starting with Bralirwa, Rwanda’s oldest and largest brewery, visitors get a glimpse into the country’s industrial heritage while learning about the brewing of iconic drinks like Primus and Mützig. This stop highlights the blend of traditional tastes with modern production techniques that continue to shape Rwanda’s beverage culture.
From here, the journey unfolds into natural beauty. The Congo Nile Trail is one of East Africa’s most spectacular long-distance routes, stretching along Lake Kivu and offering panoramic views of rolling hills, terraced farmlands, and the sparkling waters of the lake.
Even if you only explore a short section, the trail provides an unforgettable sense of Rwanda’s rich landscapes. The Pfunda Loop, on the other hand, offers a more intimate encounter with daily life, as you walk or cycle past vibrant tea plantations, greeting farmers who tend to the green fields.
Whether you are seeking natural wonders, cultural connections, or local traditions, this half-day tour captures the very essence of Rwanda. It is an experience that combines discovery, hospitality, and adventure in perfect balance.
