Popular Uganda Mountain Biking Trails
• 80 ★ 5.0 • 1 mile • 14 ft • 10 •
'Tabon Aret' means 'Good Trail' in the local language and is the best trail in this mini network around Fingers Rocks. Fast and technical with lots of small drops, wall ride, steep loose descents and a road gap jump (optional) near the end.
• 100 ★ 5.0 • 2,838 ft • 6 ft • 9 •
Mostly a blue trail with some technical features, but all easily rollable, no jumps or drops. It's been marked a black due to a short rock garden at the end, which is easily walkable. This is the first trail to access all the other...
• 85 ★ 5.0 • 1 mile • 11 ft • 8 •
Chameleon trail has been broken into multiple sections due to some short link roads (dirt roads) that link the singletrack together. It's an epic downhill trail ideal as a full day tour when linked with Dragon Lady.
• 5 ★ 5.0 • 3 miles • 10 ft • 8 •
Amazing technical trail with really good flow. Long hot and very rocky but will leave you with a big smile on your face!!
• 90 ★ 5.0 • 638 ft • 6 ft • 8 •
Another option into Manson's Fairytale for good riders, really technical, steep and difficult rock garden - natural and un-groomed. Have a scout / check before riding - especially the rock garden at the top. Right after the first rock...
• 85 ★ 5.0 • 3,543 ft • 12 ft • 6 •
Fast, tight and at times loose trail with lots of twists and turns. Pretty steep at the top and then mellows out into more flow at the bottom.
• 95 ★ 5.0 • 1 mile • 31 ft • 6 •
The epic end to Chameleon trail - bringing you down to the main Kapchorwa - Suam road. There's a little Duka (local shop) where you can buy a soda and a mandazi or biscuits.
• 65 ★ 4.5 • 1 mile • 648 ft • 6 •
The start is nowadays very tough - steep and eroded. There is, however, and easier b-line. Part of the trail is a bit rocky and cycling all the way up (only possible on the b-line) is very difficult, although it is still the easiest way up.
