Hiking Volcanic Mountainsa

Mgahinga is home to three volcanic mountains: Mt. Muhabura 4127m with a crater lake on top, shared between Uganda and Rwanda; Mt. Sabyinyo 3669m shared by three countries  at the summit:Uganda, Rwanda and DRC and Mt. Gahinga 3474m shared between Rwanda and Uganda with a crater Swamp on top. 

The  forest experience is drammatic with changes in vegetation and  breathtaking views of the neighbouring countries; Guests are advised to go with a lunch box, hire a local porter and atleast  carry two liters of drinking water. The park authorities provide two armed rangers and a tour guide  to accompany  you  during your hiking experience.  The armed rangers are to chase forest animals like the forest elephants and buffaloes in case they are encountered along the hiking trail.

While staying at Lake Chahafi Resort: an early start, with a wake up call provided by our house keepers and then have your breakfast and  transfer to the park within one hour for a 21 km distance. 

We can arrange for your transfer  to the park and back to the resort where our  hospitable staff are waiting  to welcome  you  for a massage, warm dinner by the fireplace and custom made welcome drink. 

The ardent hikers  can hike the different volcanoes  on different days  and also mix with relaxation at our charming hide away by the lake.
