Top Descriptions
| There are three volcanoes in the Virunga Mountains that can be accessed fairly easily from Kisoro, and Sabinyo may just be one of the best to visit on a day hike. The 6- to 8-hour route is equal parts challenging and exciting, with three separate peaks navigated by ladders and stairs and absolutely excellent views of the surrounding Muhabura and Gahinga volcanoes (on a clear day). It’s also deep in the territory of the famous mountain gorilla, and if you’re lucky you might just see one at a fraction of the cost. And if you don’t, well the environment alone is evocative enough to make this experience a worthy one. – Daniel |

Top Tips
| If you’re uncertain which volcano in the Virungas to hike, consider this one. It’s certainly more exciting than the Bisoke Volcano Hike in Rwanda. |
| Expect to be navigating steep (and mostly makeshift) wooden ladders/stairs for quite a large portion of this hike, but especially up and down the three peaks. |
| Keep an eye out for chameleons on this route. We saw two along the way and two more in the trumpet-flower bushes in the Ntebeko car park. There’s also a small, but very real, possibility of coming across gorillas on this route. |
