1-Day Sabyinyo Volcano Hike at Mgahinga National Park

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Mount Sabyinyo, or 'older man's teeth' in the local Rufumbira dialect, is one of the revered volcanoes in the chain of eight mountains that form the Virunga ranges. The third peak of this 3,669-meter high volcano adjoins Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The one-day hike will start with an early morning drive from Kisoro town to the Ntebeko gate of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The drive to the base of the volcano will take about an hour. You will meet the national park guide from the volcano base, who will escort you through the hike. The Sabyinyo volcano hike takes about 7-9 hrs from the hiking trailhead to the summit of this extinct volcano and back to the trailhead. Because of its rugged nature, several wooden ladders are along the hiking trail. After the hike, return to Kisoro town for dinner & overnight. The price quoted includes the park entrance fee, hiking permit, and transport from Kisoro town to the volcano. No other costs are covered.
