The Via Congo-Nile trail, which leads to some of the most iconic, gorgeous hiking trails and views in the area, is one of the most popular ways to enjoy the spectacular terrain surrounding this enormous lake in Rwanda. The Congo Nile Trail runs 227 kilometers from Rubavu in the north to Rusizi in the south of Lake Kivu, taking in spectacular scenery along the way. With eucalyptus trees bordering the route and every inch of the slopes apparently terraced with bananas, the track softly bends back and forth as it weaves through hills and mountains beside the lake.
