Trip description

Day 1: Mount Nyiragongo hike up

As early as 7 am, you will be expected to be at the Grande Barrier goma border building for check in with the Virunga tourism office and ready to join the team headed for the Nyiragongo hike up. Mount Nyiragongo is one of the only active volcanoes of Africa and can be visited on your Congo safari. 

You will report at the Bukima ranger post to hire your porters and any needs for the overnight hike and when ready, follow the guides up hill. You will hike for about 5 hours with 2 stopovers to refresh and catch a breath. Arrive at the summit in the evening hours and settle into your cabin where you will spend the night. 

Day 2: Nyiragongo descent

You will wake up ready to leave Virunga national park for Rwanda. You will enjoy your last views at the top of the summit, have breakfast and start your descent of the volcano. 

Reach the trailhead at about 12 pm and meet up with your driver guide to drive to Kigali Rwanda. You may have a Kigali city tour visiting the Kimironko market and the Kigali genocide memorial grounds and later be dropped off at your agreed drop off location in Kigali.
