Great hiking expedience

JUN_L, Jun 2026

Hiking on Mount Bisoke was one of my main purposes for coming to Rwanda - besides tasting the coffee. The mist-shrouded mountains motivated me to reach the summit. The entire itinerary was very tightly scheduled, taking about 12 hours from start to finish. The driver, who also runs the tour agency, picked me up from my hotel in Kigali, and the one-way drive to the base took about 2.5 hours. He was very talkative and had clear, well-thought-out plans for growing his business. The climb itself was somewhat challenging and monotonous, but the sight of the shimmering crater lake at the top made it all worthwhile. I do wish there were something like a summit certificate to make the experience feel more participatory. I heard that this agency also runs trips to Mount Nyiragongo - I'm hoping that once the security situation stabilizes, that trip can become a reality.

Dear Jul Li, serving you was amazing, and most importantly, we were proud of you since you managed to challenge yourself and make it to the summit of Mount Bisoke. Congratulations. We will be happy to serve you again. Regards

Darius was amazing, there...

Darius was amazing, there is no other way to describe. He does the transport to the national park and the hike is done by a park ranger and porters. It's quite a long drive that starts very early, but it was fun all along. He stays there waiting for you the whole time in case you don't make it or something happens. 1000% recommend. About the hike, it's not the easiest. If you're not used to doing cardio or hikes, it's going to be hard. The view on top is nice.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Congratulations once again (You made it!), You were such a courageous lady, lovely to serve. As promised, we will be happy to serve you once you come back to Rwanda. Peace!

Challenging but rewarding hike! Amazing experience!

A challenging but amazing hike! Darius is super organised and managed to keep everything on schedule despite the short notice. The guides you do the hike with are very friendly and supportive. It was a great day!
