Experience local culture by riding through beautiful African villages and meeting its friendly inhabitants\, while slaloming between magical crates lakes with a backdrop of Uganda’s massive mountains: the Rwenzoris. Too much to mention! \nBut be aware\, you’ll have to work for it! We’ll cycle from Fort Portal to Kisoro and will cover around 300km with quite some elevation metres.
