2-Day Bisoke Volcano Hike, Twin Lakes and Cultural Tour
Summary
Tour info
Why take this tour?
Mount Bisoke is one of the Virunga volcanoes and boasts a wonderful crater lake at the summit where you also get to enjoy the views of the sublime forests, the green farms and the lakes in the area. The hike to the volcano starts at 7:00AM and usually last around 5 to 6 hours depending on level of fitness. The hike starts from the Volcanoes National Park which is home to the mountain gorillas and the golden monkeys but there is very little chance you might see because we take a different hiking trail. The tour also offers an opportunity to encounter the local people of Burera who take us on a canoe tour to the many islands of the Twin Lakes (Ruhondo, Burera). We also take a short walk through the hills and get to discover the history of the communities who live in that area. We also get to visit the Iby'Iwacu Cultural Centre where we are welcome by the traditional ballet and get to understand the traditions and culture of the people who lived in the ancient kingdom of Rwanda.
