a remarkable place to explore on foot. The best hiking to be had is in the western half of the country, all the way from Volcanoes National Park in the north, along the fringes of Lake Kivu in the west and down to Nyungwe National Park in the south.</p> <p>Download a brochure with useful information on hiking in Rwanda <a href="https://www.visitrwanda.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Rwanda_Hiking_Guide.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>here</strong></span></a>.</p> <p>A range of six extinct and three active volcanoes form the Virunga Massif, spanning altitudes from 2,400m to 4,507m. The <a href="http://www.visitrwanda.com/destinations/volcanoes-national-park/">Volcanoes National Park</a> protects the Rwandan sector, with the other slopes falling within Uganda or the Democratic Republic of Congo.</p> <div class="single_slides"> <div class="single_slide"> <div class="bsz"> <div class="bgimage" style="background-image: url(https://visitrwanda.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/1641/Visit-Rwanda-Volcano-1920x1280.jpg)"></div> <img src="https://visitrwanda.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/1641/Visit-Rwanda-Volcano-1920x1280.jpg" alt="" /> </div> </div> <div class="single_slide"> <div class="bsz"> <div class="bgimage" style="background-image: url(https://visitrwanda.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/1650/Visit-Rwanda-Crater-Lake-Volcanoes-e1533416621808-1920x1267.jpg)"></div> <img src="https://visitrwanda.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/1650/Visit-Rwanda-Crater-Lake-Volcanoes-e1533416621808-1920x1267.jpg" alt="" /> </div> </div> <div class="prev controls"><i class="fa fa-chevron-left" aria-hidden="true"></i></div> <div class="next controls"><i class="fa fa-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></div> </div> <p>The park is best known for <a href="http://www.visitrwanda.com/interests/gorilla-tracking/">tracking gorillas</a> but there is plenty more to see and do. The shortest hike is to Lake Ngezi, a scenic little lake nestled in a volcanic depression at the foot of Mount Bisoke. It takes about three hours in total and is relatively easy going, with the possibility of encountering wildlife along the way as well as gaze across to the Congolese forests.</p> <p>For those keen to summit Mount Bisoke, a crater lake awaits at the top, which lies at 3,700m. This trail takes anything from five hours to a whole day.</p> <p>The highest peak in Rwanda is Mount Karisimbi, which translates as white shell, referring to the frequently white-capped cloud cover at the summit. At 4,507m it is a strenuous yet rewarding hike, which takes two days, camping along the way. As this is the territory of gorillas, other primates and many bird species, hikers could be blessed with a chance meeting along the way.</p> <p>In the saddle area between Mount Karisimbi and Mount Bisoke is the <a href="https://gorillafund.org/what-we-do/where-we-work/rwanda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karisoke Research Centre</a>, founded by Dian Fossey in 1967, as well as the site of her grave. The walk up takes about an hour to an hour and a half, starting with a drive from the park headquarters 30 minutes away.</p> <p>Other hikes include Mount Muhubura, a demanding full day climb up to 4,127m, and the scenic twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo. It is possible to reach a viewpoint over the lakes by car, so hikers shouldn’t expect to be alone. For those keen to change it up a bit, it is possible to hire a boat for a scenic lake cruise.</p> <p>The Buhanga Eco-Park offers more of a wander than a hike but is nevertheless worth considering. Paths crafted from lava stones form an interconnecting network between observation platforms, sometimes running between ancient ficus trees with creepers clinging to their trunks.</p> <p>Rwandan kings of old were crowned in the caves in the Buhanga sacred forest, which translates as creation. Alongside its cultural significance, it is also quite beautiful, with rare orchids and butterflies.</p> <p>Mount Kabuye, lying out with the Volcanoes National Park to the south-east, is another popular hike, especially with volunteers working within Rwanda. It takes about five hours to reach the top, lying at an altitude of 2,700m.</p> <p>All of the above require a permit and a guide.</p> <p>Alongside Lake Kivu, the <a href="https://kivubelt.travel/congo-nile-trail/"><strong>Congo Nile Trail</strong></a> is popular with both cyclists and hikers, traversing rainforests, bracken fields and bamboo forests. At 227km from one end to the other, it takes 10 days to complete on foot, although it is possible to do in single sections.</p> <p>The trail is a wonderful way to soak up daily life in traditional villages, tour a historic church, swim and paddle on the lake shore or sip coffee where it’s made.</p> <p>With twelve coffee-washing stations, three tea plantations, three cities, dozens of villages, and innumerable beaches, coves, waterfalls, valleys and vistas, the winding path of the <a href="https://kivubelt.travel/congo-nile-trail/"><strong>Congo Nile Trail</strong> </a>offers some of the finest hiking to be had anywhere in east and central Africa.</p> <p>Winding its way along the fringes of the lake via the peaks of Rwanda’s green hills, the <strong><a href="https://kivubelt.travel/congo-nile-trail/">Congo Nile Trail</a></strong> is as challenging as it is rewarding. With a peak elevation of 2630m, it’s a serious workout to boot.</p> <p>There are camp sites along the route, or guesthouses in the towns for those after a bit more comfort.
