Duration
1-Day
Accra, Rwanda
Tackle Mount Bisoke's summit in a day! This adventure is open to all, not just seasoned hikers. The ascent takes around 4 hours, while the descent takes 2 hours or more, depending on your team's pace. Experienced climbers can reach the top in 3 hours. While considered a relatively easier hike, don't underestimate the thorny vegetation, buzzing insects, and muddy trails - especially in the rainy season. A decent level of fitness will serve you well.

Day 1
Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime. We'll pick you up from your Kigali hotel at 4:30 am and drive to Kinigi's park headquarters, where your hike to Mt Bisoke begins. This stunning volcano stands tall at 3711m, boasting a classic conic shape and a breathtaking crater lake. The climb demands endurance due to the high elevation, and the journey can take anywhere from 5 hours to a full day, depending on your pace and how often you stop to take in the views. As you hike, you'll traverse diverse vegetation zones, from bamboo forests to Hagenia and Hypericum woodlands. Expect to return to Kigali around 5 pm.

Kyooma Gorilla Safaries organized a great safari for me and my family. Connection with them was excellent through all the process. The quality of the safari was excellent and the price was reasonable. The driver was kind and great driver.

I really enjoyed working with Kyooma Gorilla Safaris. I worked with them to visit the golden monkeys in Rwanda and to hike Mt. Bisoke. I reached out to many different companies to get quotes. Kyooma and Mwije (the office rep) was wonderful and listened to what I wanted to do within my budget. They definitely were the cheapest in terms of price of all those contacted, but not in the quality of experience. From start to finish they helped me plan a great and comfortable experience. I wanted to see crater lake on top of Mt. Bisoke and they made it happen. I had all the information I needed to experience my trip with ease. Blair was my driver and he was GREAT! I really enjoyed his company for the 2 days. Had lots of laughs and great conversations. He didn’t mind that I took a bit longer to hike and eat before departing back to Kigali. Loved learning from Blair about the work and his life in Uganda. I have zero bad things to say about Kyooma Gorilla Safaris. I would 100% work with them again!

Had an excellent experience with Muhwezi on my 2 day trip. I was looking for a quick add on to an existing trip to Kigali. Kyooma was quick and efficient to respond to my booking request and delivered everything I asked for. Muhwezi was there to pick me up right on time and we had a wonderful two days with the Gorillas in Uganda. Accommodations were delightful and vehicle was top notch.
