From Kigali : Bisoke Hike Volcanoes National Park with LunchPrivate Tour Rates

1 Day Bisoke hiking tour package is designed for travelers on taking you to summit of crate lake while enjoying other things in the park.
04:30 Hours: The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Kigali, followed by a transfer to Volcanoes National Park, Musanze province.

07:00 Hours: Once at the park headquarters of Kinigi we meet with the other hikers and our park ranger guide. The rangers brief the hikers about the park, and the 5 Virunga volcanoes shared on the Rwanda side, and also offer insight on what to expect during the hike.

All the rangers who work for the park authorities are seasoned guides and boast a wealth of knowledge. Many of the rangers are natives who hail from the Kinigi area and have been working with the park from when they were young.

08:00 Hours: After the briefing, we transfer to Bisoke Volcano hiking start point/ Bisoke head trail – a 40-minute drive from the headquarters. The first 15 minutes are on a paved road while the rest is a bumpy ride on volcanic rocks.

09:00 Hours: Once at Bisoke head trail which stands at 2700 meters/ 8850 above sea level, we hire a porter and begin to climb. Your bag may seem light initially however, as you ascend the mountain it gets heavy.

The porters will help in providing a push or pull through the challenging spots, such as muddy, steep & slippery. The first 10 or so minutes of our hike go through villages and farmlands along the edge of the park then we go past a stone wall into Volcanoes National Park.

The stone wall fence of the park keeps buffalos and forest elephants inside the park and also controls intruders from trespassing into the park. Mountain Bisoke is home to some habituated Gorilla families and you stand a good chance of encountering these at the start of your ascent up the mountain.

If by chance you encounter some gorillas, the guides allow you to watch them for a few minutes while on the hiking trail. Photography is prohibited as this excursion does not include permits for Gorilla trekking. You may also get to see the Golden Monkey troop on your trek up Mountain Bisoke.

The mountain is also home to Forest elephants and buffaloes however chances of sighting them are minimal. The hike up Mt Busoke takes about 4 hours and another 2 hours descending down to the starting point but this depends on your speed and the frequency of stops. Near the summit is Crater Lake, which features drier vegetation than other parts of the park, with giant heather growing all over the slopes of the volcano.

13:00 Hours: Once at the summit, you get to enjoy fantastic views of the other five volcanoes and the beautiful Twin Lakes. The amount of time you spend on the summit depends on the weather and temperature. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the summit, as you take pictures.

14:00 Hours: With your guides and porters start descending to the starting point.

16:00 Hours: Meet up with your guide for drop off at either a hotel/or Kigali International Airport.
