Mount Bisoke Hiking and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Mount Bisoke Hiking and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
You will eat breakfast on this day, then go to Kinigi, the briefing location, at 7:00 am with the hiking equipment and designated rangers. With a height of 3,700 meters and the distinctive conic shape of a "perfect" volcano, Mount Bisoke has a deep crater lake inside of it. Although Mount Bisoke is not an especially difficult volcano to climb, it is nonetheless a difficult walk for those who are interested in doing so. Because of the high altitude, climbers must exert extra effort, and depending on how quickly they walk and how often they rest, the entire journey can last anything from 5 hours to an entire day.
Usually, the ascent takes 3 hours. You will pass through several different vegetation environments while ascending, starting with bamboo woods, continuing through the Hagenia hypericum forest, and concluding with Seneci lobelia bushes close to the summit. Afterward, you will travel to Western Uganda.
