Mount Bisoke in an active volcano in the Virunga Mountains of the Albertine Rift, the western branch of the East African Rift. It straddles the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but the summit is located in Rwanda. Mount Bisoke stands at an elevation of 3,711 meters (12,175 feet) and is known for its steep slopes, rugged terrain, and beautiful Crater Lake. The hike to the summit of Mount Bisoke is a popular activity for visitors to Rwanda, and it typically takes about 6 to 7 hours round trip to complete. The trail to the summit of Mount Bisoke passes through dense rainforest, bamboo forests, and open moorland before reaching the crater rim. From the rim, hikers can take a short detour to reach the shore of the Crater Lake, which is surrounded by steep cliffs and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Mount Bisoke is an important site for conservation efforts in the region, visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment.

    Attention, les professionnels du tourisme du secteur ne transmettent pas les infos nécessaires pour cette randonnée. Je vous la déconseille lors de la saison des pluies. J'y étais en décembre 2023, les randonneurs étaient fortement déçus. En quelques heures, sous la pluie, dans le froid, avec du brouillard et de la boue jusqu'aux genoux il faut gravir 3200 mètres en quelques heures sans temps d'adaptation. Autant dire que ce n'est pas conseillé à tout le monde et que pour admirer les paysages ce n'est pas le bon moment. Cette info n'est pas donnée par les professionnels, ils ne communiquent pas non plus sur l'équipement nécessaire. A la clé pour eux : 75 dollars US. J'ai croisé des touristes qui ont bousillé le basket et n'avaient aucune protection étanche pour protéger de la boue dans le bas des jambes. J'ai pris conscience de cela en discutant avec des personnes qui ont fait la rando et qui m'ont dit, pour la plupart, qu'ils ne l'auraient pas faite s'ils avaient connu les conditions. Pour ma part je ne l'ai donc pas faite. Je ne doute en revanche pas de la beauté de la randonnée en été, car il y a aussi une forte chance de croiser les gorilles sans dépenser les 1500 euros de la rando spécifiques pour aller à leur rencontre.

    A friend recommended me to contact Nshuti Daniel. and he was really of great help. He helped with the booking, and the hiking in bisoke, however challenging, was a memorable experience. Thank you very much for the guidance and encouragement. I can't believe I made it to the top!

    Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by NSHUTI Danie , and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The journey to Musanze and the Hiking of Bisoke was extremely good, Danie was very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that He deserves a special thanks. We had a great day there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Nshuti is such a warm personality and highly motivated with what he does (recommendable!). The weather was beautiful and it was a great experience to hike in such environment.To spot some gorillas by chance and for free at the end going back was a great way to end the tour. All respect for Nshuti who does a great job here in Rwanda; a true sample of excellent Travel and tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Nshuti Danie to everyone!
