This deep lake has multiple islands, and you may hike on one of them with advance notice. Here you may get even more magnificent views of the lake and take photographs.

After the boat ride, return to the lodge for lunch before continuing for a mountain biking adventure and the opportunity to swim in the bilharzia-free water of Lake Bunyonyi.

These gentle giants are incredibly tranquil, despite their intimidating and aggressive look. Return to the lodge, have your lunch, and unwind for a while.

Day 5: Volcano hiking

At 6:30 a.m., consume your breakfast. Return to the Ntebeko tourist center and prepare to hike Mount Muhabura. The hike begins at 7:00 a.m. and lasts 6-8 hours, depending on the hiker’s fitness level. At a reasonable cost, guides and porters can assist you with your large luggage. Bring your hiking shoes because the hills become rather muddy during wet seasons due to the thickets and plants that cover them.

Mount Muhabura is the steepest of the volcano ranges, with its first resting point at 3,116m, second at 3,855m, and peak at 4,127m above sea level. It provides breathtaking views of magnificent craters and broad fields on the slopes where gorillas live.
