3 Days Mount Bisoke Hiking

Your 3 days Mount Bisoke hiking is a greater experience to explore the fauna and flora within this region. Mountain Bisoke stands at 3700 meters; it has the typical conic shape of a “perfect” volcano and in its crater lays a deep crater lake. The top of this Volcano has a spectacular crater lake. It is simply a 6 – hours hike including the 2 hours descending down to the starting point.

Experienced hikers can get to the top of this mountain in a matter of 3 hours or even less and return to the base in about an hour. This is the 3rd highest mountain in Rwanda and is part of Volcanoes National Park. From the top of the volcano one can enjoy fantastic views over the other five volcanoes and the “twin lakes”. There is a crater lake near the summit and the vegetation is usually drier than in other areas of the Volcanoes National Park, with giant heather thriving on the volcano’s slopes.
