1 day bisoke hike from Kigali

1 day  bisoke hike from Kigali offers an exceptional opportunity to discover the region’s animals and plants. Mount Bisoke rises to 3,700 meters and exhibits the characteristic conical form of an ideal volcano, with a deep crater lake situated within its summit crater. The summit of this volcano features a magnificent crater lake. The hike lasts a total of six hours, which includes two hours of descent back to the starting location. Seasoned hikers may ascend this peak in approximately 3 hours or less and descend to the base in about 1 hour. It is the third tallest peak in Rwanda and is located within Volcanoes National Park. From the summit of the volcano, one may appreciate magnificent vistas of the five other volcanoes and the “twin lakes.” A crater lake exists at the top, and the vegetation is often drier than in other regions of Volcanoes National Park, with enormous heather flourishing on the volcano’s slopes.

Day 1: Transfer to Musanze

You will be collected from your accommodation in Kigali at 4:30 AM and transported to Musanze by your driver-guide; the journey may take 2 to 3 hours. You will report to the park headquarters at Kinigi at 7:00 am for a briefing, followed by a hiking excursion. The hike often requires a whole day, lasting between 6 and 8 hours, contingent upon your hiking proficiency. Throughout the ascent, you will traverse various vegetation habitats, beginning with bamboo woods, followed by Hagenia-Hypericum forests, and ultimately progressing through Senecio-Lobelia shrubland toward the peak. You will bring your packed lunch and an energy drink with you. You will return later in the afternoon. You will thereafter be transported from Kigali to the hotel or airport to board your journey.
