The Directions
| With your Back to Future Supermarket, head right on the road through town. Within a few minutes you should see a very clear sign on your left saying ‘Congo Nile Trail: Gisovu subtrail 64km’. If you can see the sign you are on the right road. |
| Follow this dusty road up and out of town for as long as you care to. Within an hour you should have some very good views of Lake Kivu below and be coming out of the town. You should also be able to clearly see a small track on the opposite hill below leading through the village. You may want to return this way instead of coming back down the same dusty road you climbed. |
| Within two and a half hours of walking almost continually uphill, you will be afforded some excellent panoramas of Kibuye (Karongi) and the lake below. Return the way you came or through one of the local tracks heading through the villages. |

| There’s very little in the way of shops once you get an hour or so along the trail. However, moto taxis do pass frequently enough should you tire of walking and want to return to town quickly. |
