Mount Bisoke Hike – Mount Bisoke is one of the eight volcanoes that make up the chain of the Virunga Volcanoes in Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Some level of physical fitness is required because the hike can be moderately challenging.
Day 1: Mount Bisoke Hike – Volcanoes National Park
Your tour driver will pick you up early in the morning from your hotel in Kigali. He will drive you northwest to Volcanoes National Park for your one-day hike on Mount Bisoke. The trek will take about six hours in total (ascent and descent).
After a briefing at the Kinigi park offices, you will drive to the starting point of your hike. You will then begin your ascent to the summit of Mount Bisoke, led by a park guide.
Enjoy the beautiful views as you climb higher into the mountain. You may spot some birds and, with some luck, see some wild animals that live on the lower slopes of Mount Bisoke.
When you reach the summit, enjoy the amazing views of Volcanoes National Park and the crater lake at the top.
