Getting there

Car

Once you reach Musanze, continue on the RN4 towards Nyiragongo. As you get closer to Mukingo, set your GPS to the coordinates (latitude: -1.5028715, longitude: 29.4917049). The final stretch will lead you to a dirt road that takes you directly to Nyirankona. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain, as the last section may require a 4WD due to the nature of the road. Parking is usually available near the start of the hiking trails.

Upon arriving in Musanze, you can catch a local taxi or a moto-taxi to Mukingo. Make sure to inform the driver that you are heading to Nyirankona. Once you reach Mukingo, you may need to walk or arrange for a local guide to take you the remaining distance to Nyirankona, as public transport may not go directly to the hiking area.
