Twin Lakes Village Biking
- 9.00 am - 12.00 pm: This is a day cycling tour (excursion) starting from Musanze town at our main office or where clients are accommodated. The beautiful Twin Lake can be found near the Ugandan border, not far from the foot of Mount Muhabura.
- Lake Burera is a tributary of Lake Ruhondo. The combined surface area of Lakes Ruhondo and Burera is 2800 hectares. They are typical of the lava-dammed lakes in East Africa and have interesting backstories. The greenery surrounding the lakes gives the water an ethereal hue, making it appear green.
- 12.00 pm - 12.30 pm: Boat ride to Ruhondo peninsula for lunch. The Virunga Volcanic Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the lakes of Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo, bordered by high hills and enormous waterfalls. A narrow strip of land, precisely 1 kilometre wide, separates Burera and Ruhondo.
- 14.00 pm - 14.30 pm: Head back on the boat and ride back to the hotel in Musanze town, where we started the tour.
