Day 01: Rubavu to Cyimbiri

>> The Congo Nile Trail. The name is as exotic as it is confusing. As the name of an African hiking and biking trail, the name makes you think of two completely different African locations. The name of the hiking trail comes from the fact that the hike passes along the mountain ridge of the African Congo-Nile divide which divides the rainfall into two of Africa's largest rivers. All rainfall that falls to the west of this ridge trickles down and eventually ends up in the Congo River. All rainfalls which fall to the east of this ridge eventually end up in the Nile River. On this day, you will have an opportunity to explore 18 km of this great trail starting from Rubavu early morning and ending the hike at Cyimbili where you will sleep.
