Bisoke volcano in Rwanda is also well known as Bisoke volcano in the volcanoes national park. We are UMURAGE ECO SAFARIS.
It is 3711meters and a dormant volcano stands across the border of Democratic republic of Congo and Rwanda. Mount Bisoke is part of an amazing chain of lush and verdant volcanoes which form the Virunga mountain range.
The Virunga mountain range consists of at least eight outstanding volcanoes and stretching across the borders of the three neighboring countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo.
The mountain stands in between two neighboring national parks across the Rwanda & Congo which is the volcanoes national park on the Rwandan side and the Virunga national park in Democratic republic of Congo. Still the bigger part of the volcano with the summit lies in Rwanda.
This summit of mount Bisoke has got a beautiful crater lake. Meanwhile it is because of these two crater Lakes that the local people suitably named the mount Bisoke which is a Swahili word meaning soaked with water
The visitors find opportunities of sighting birds and wildlife along the trail
Birding and forest walks done along the trails within the mountain vegetation present an extremely rewarding birding experience. The park has about ( more than) 165 bird species yet they are about 17 endemic to this particular area
