A day trip _ Mount Bisoke Hike Adventure

Great hiking expedience

Hiking on Mount Bisoke was one of my main purposes for coming to Rwanda - besides tasting the coffee. The mist-shrouded mountains motivated me to reach the summit. The entire itinerary was very tightly scheduled, taking about 12 hours from start to finish. The driver, who also runs the tour agency, picked me up from my hotel in Kigali, and the one-way drive to the base took about 2.5 hours. He was very talkative and had clear, well-thought-out plans for growing his business. The climb itself was somewhat challenging and monotonous, but the sight of the shimmering crater lake at the top made it all worthwhile. I do wish there were something like a summit certificate to make the experience feel more participatory. I heard that this agency also runs trips to Mount Nyiragongo - I'm hoping that once the security situation stabilizes, that trip can become a reality.

Culinary Tours & Banana Beer Tasting

Magical & Cultural Experience

this is truly a magical experience, I would say that chef was amazing and we had wonderful food, and the women who are local women from the village were so warm and inviting. They play drums with us made banana beer with us, told us stories took us to the local market and told us about all the cool plants and how they are actually medicine. It was truly a cultural experience and we highly recommend. we would say the accommodations were more traditional simple, but there was hot, running water and a comfortable bed so we were quite happy with everything!
