Paramotoring – a form of paragliding – has recently been introduced in Rwanda – the only place in East Africa offering this activity at this time. In Paramotoring, the pilot wears a helmet and a motor on their back to propel the glider along. This new adventure was introduced by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), along with the Rwanda Flying Club and the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority, and managed with the help of the Rwanda Flying Club.

Four sites will host paramotoring: Huye District, the lakeside towns of Rubavu and Karongi, and the mountiain rainforests  of Nyungwe National Park.
