★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 151 reviews · from $60Our pick

Guided bike ride from Kampala across Lake Victoria by boat, then 20 to 25 km of dirt trails with snacks and a soft drink.

“A great cycling experience just outside of Kampala. It was rainy season, so the ride was muddy in areas, but still fun. Zaga was a great host leading me through trails on the east side of Lake Victoria. Added bonus was the bike ride crossing the lake. You'll see various birds diving into the water hunting for fish.”
