Walking
Start at the Gisenyi central market, which is a well-known landmark. From the market, head east on Avenue du Lac for about 10 minutes, following the main road towards the direction of the lake. You will pass several local shops and eateries. Continue straight until you reach the road junction near the lake. At the junction, turn left onto the lakeside promenade and continue walking along the shoreline.
Walking
As you walk along the promenade, you will enjoy scenic views of Lake Kivu. Continue walking for about 30 minutes, and you will pass by several local hotels and restaurants. Look for signs indicating the direction to Gitarama; your destination, Sebwugugu Rock, is located near the border with Gitarama.
Walking
After approximately 30 minutes on the promenade, you will reach a fork in the path. Take the right path that leads away from the lake and up towards the hills. The trail may be less maintained, so watch your step as you go uphill. Follow this path for about 15 minutes.
Walking
Once you reach the top of the hill, you should see Sebwugugu Rock in the distance. It is a prominent geological feature. Continue walking towards the rock for another 10 minutes, and you will arrive at your destination. Enjoy the view and take some photos!
