2 Day Mount Karisimbi Hiking Adventure
Mount Karisimbi is the highest peak in Rwanda and the tallest of the eight major volcanoes in the Virunga ranges, standing at 4,507 meters (14,787 feet) above sea level. Located within Volcanoes National Park, it straddles the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Hiking Mount Karisimbi is a challenging yet rewarding experience. The trek typically spans two days, with the first day involving a gradual ascent through the forest to a campsite located at approximately 3,700 meters. The second day includes the final push to the summit and the descent back to the starting point.
