Wild Frontiers Mount Karisimbi Climb

Rising to 4507m, Mount Karisimbi is the highest volcano in the Virungas. A white-capped summit can often be seen on top of this stratovolcano. This climb is very strenuous, navigating through the Bisoke side, and camping overnight before finishing off the hike the next day. The hike is characterized by muddy trails (through dense forest at its base to the barren volcanic core at the summit) due to the altitude which causes rain at any time of the day. Climbers need to be fit and it’s recommended to hire a porter to assist with the climb.
