Rwanda Adventures

Hiking in Volcanoes National Park has always been a major activity. These mountains might not be the best African mountains to climb but they do offer equally good physical challenges. They are quite easy to climb and you will hardly suffer from any altitude sickness. Besides, there are five volcano mountains around the park and you have a broad array to choose from. To climb all these mountains, you will only need a few days – approximately one week. Experiencing such Rwanda adventures is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Best time to go mountain climbing in Rwanda

Climbing mountains becomes much easier during dry seasons. The best months for mountain climbing in Rwanda are June to July and December to February. Any months besides those are tricky and you can hardly tell when rain is going to fall on you whilst you trek. To highly rule out any slight chances of such uncertainties, schedule your hike for the months mentioned above.

What to expect

All these mountains are situated in Volcanoes National Park – the same safari park that shelters some of the last few remaining endangered mountain gorillas. As you hike, you might bump into surprises when these primates cross your way. Unfortunately, you will not be allowed to spend time around these gorillas because you haven’t paid for the activity. You can just stare and proceed with your adventure.

How difficult is the hike

Unlike other mountains where you spend days climaxing and descending, the maximum number of days you can spend hiking a mountain in Rwanda is 2 days. Some of the mountains can be ascended and descended on the same day irrespective of your age. Book one of the Rwanda mountaineering tours above to get started.
