1-Day Bisoke Volcano Hike with Round-Trip from Kigali

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Your day ignites with an early breakfast, followed by a pick-up from your Kigali hotel. Settle into your Land Cruiser for a scenic drive to Volcanoes National Park headquarters, where a briefing sets the stage for your ascent. Embark on a 6-7 hour round-trip hike up Mount Bisoke, weaving through dense forests where birdsong mingles with the rustle of leaves, and volcanic slopes test your resolve. Your guide will share tales of the mountain’s ecology, pointing out hidden gems of flora and fauna along the way.

Reach the summit and stand in awe before the crater lake—a shimmering mirror of turquoise framed by volcanic rims, kissed by wisps of mist. Take a moment to rest, breathe in the crisp air, and capture the panorama before descending. At the base, enjoy a light refreshment to refuel, then hop back into your vehicle for the return to Kigali, arriving by evening with a conqueror’s glow and memories etched in stone.
