Kigali, Rwanda - Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo
Our company guide will pick you from your hotel in Kigali and start your journey to Virunga National Park which is one of the most biologically diverse protected areas on the planet. Half of all the biodiversity in sub-Saharan Africa can be found in Virunga. The park is also a geologic wonder and contains two of the world’s most active volcanoes. That’s Mount Nyamurangira and Nyiragongo.

Nyiragongo Hiking.
After morning breakfast we shall drive to Kibiti Ranger station prepared to hike Nyiragongo, Kibati patrol post is approximately 30 minutes by car from Goma. Park rangers lead all treks and porters (unaffiliated with the park) are available for hire. It's a beautiful stratovolcano that features the world’s largest lava lake. The volcano’s forested lower slopes are home to a variety of animals, including chimpanzees, monkeys, and bushbuck. Nyiragongo’s summit rim is largely devoid of vegetation and is sometimes dusted with snow. From the rim, visitors can peer down into a churning lava lake and see and hear hot gases exploding up though a mosaic of molten lava. Because of the low silica content of its lava, Nyiragongo’s lava flows are extremely fluid. During the 2002 eruption, some of Nyiragongo’s lava flows were clocked at 100 km/hr (62 mph) and reached all the way to Lake Kivu. And the recent eruption that happened on May 22, 2021, led to the displacement of over 500,000 individuals to the surrounding areas of Goma, Sake, Bukavu, and Rwanda and the majority have recently turned back to their homes
