Kigali is one of the best places on earth to ride a bike.
However, the number of cars is increasing year after year, and road conditions are changing all the time. If you want to go out on a bike, it’s best to have a route planned in advance.
We collected our favourite rides on road or gravel bike for you, free for all to download!

Road Cycling
Our favourite road rides around Kigali
- Uganda Road: A relatively flat road, with an optional loop that includes a very tough climb
- The Worlds: proposed course for the 2025 UCI Road world championships, consisting of two loops, that will each be done several time in the main race
- The New Croissant Loop: a local favourite, with some fun inner city climbs
- The Byumba Loop: 160 kilometers loop with start and finish in Kigali. Stunning but very tough.
- Cobble Madness: many people know the wall of Kigali, but did you know there are many cobbled climbs around the city? This 80km loop takes 11 of them!
Gravel Cycling
We picked 4 loops, one in each direction, they all take some of the mighty climbs around the city, and have some amazing panoramic points. Finally, we added a “Kigali Gravel Ring Road” which connects all 4 of the loops. Use these to build your own longer ride!
