Leave your hotel for a briefing at Kibati Patrol Post, where a guide will be allocated to lead you to the Nyiragongo summit. The trek will take 4-6 hours, offering rewarding views from the very start until you reach the top at 3,470 meters. At the summit, the powerful bubbling lava lake will be clearly visible. With your cameras ready, you have a long evening and night to capture pictures and explore more about its formation as the guide provides detailed information. For this long-day adventure to the top of Nyiragongo, bring bottled water, energy-giving snacks to keep you energized, waterproof hiking boots, cameras, a daypack, long-sleeved shirts, trousers, a safari hat, insect repellents, a first aid kit, and a walking stick.

Begin descending from the summit of Nyiragongo to Kibati, where you began your adventure the previous day. Meet your driver-guide and start your journey back to Kigali, where you will be dropped off at a hotel or the airport.
