If you are looking for breathtaking adventures, look not further than the Dian Fossey hike. The Dian Fossey tomb hike is exceptionally one of the most famous adventure hikes that you shouldn’t miss in your travel itinerary. Dian Fossey was the most popular American primatologist who devoted herself in conservation of the rare mountain gorillas and their habitat in the Volcanoes National Park in Northwestern Rwanda.

The tour will start and end in Kigali the capital of Rwanda. Our driver will pick you from your Hotel or Lodge(after having breakfast or with packed breakfast) at 4:30 am to start on your 2 hours journey to Volcanoes National park.

The journey to Volcanoes national park takes an average of 2-3 hours and on reaching the park offices, you will be briefed by park officers.
A trek to the Dian Fossey tomb site starts in the morning and hikers first gather at the park office at 7:00am to meet the park official for early morning briefing and at around 8:00am they depart for 30 minutes towards mount Bisoke where the actual treks begin just outside Volcanoes National Park. For this adventure, you will need a walking stick which will be given to you at the park headquarters free of charge but there are also porters around the park headquarters to help you in case of heavy load.

While on your hike, you will catch a glimpse of the spectacular Virunga Mountains. As you continue, you will come across a stone wall that marks the demarcation of the park and also plays an important part in protecting the forest elephants and buffaloes from crossing over into the adjacent communities. You will the hike through the spectacular Bisoke volcano and also encounter most of primates and other wildlife species along the way.
