ウガンダとルワンダでのチンパンジー トレッキング: 究極のガイド
Chimpanzee trekking is one of the best experiences to have in Uganda in parts of Kibale and Ngamba
Mount Nyirangogo can be reached from several areas, but for security reasons, it is safer to go through Gisenyi town in Rwanda. From Gisenyi, visitors will be driven for 20 km to the border between Rwanda and DR Congo before crossing to Goma. From Goma town, a great black cloud is visible, which is a reminder of the volcano’s last eruption in 2002. The lava that once flowed at great temperatures has now cooled to leave black rock. After Goma, you will be driven to the head trail at Kibati village. You will be briefed on what to expect before starting your Mount Nyiragongo volcano hike. The briefing covers all important aspects of hiking the Nyiragongo Volcano and includes what to expect, the stopping points, and what to pack. Hikers will need to move as a group for most of the activity except for the final part of the hike.
ニーラゴンゴ山に登る
The Nyiragongo volcano trek is divided into five sections, with a 15-minute break at each stop. Hikers commence the ascent at the Kibati Ranger Post at an altitude of 1870m and reach the summit at 3,470m, with a 6.5km hike each way. Average climbing time is between 4 and 6 hours, with descent off the volcano taking around 4 hours. Times are dependent on group speed and agility, as the slowest person on the trek sets the pace.
The first section of the trek will take guests through dense forest at the base of Nyiragongo. It is in this area that hikers are encouraged to keep a lookout for wildlife, including monkeys and bushbuck. The forest ascends up into the second section, whose open skied trails offer beautiful views of the valley below. The third section takes you across old lava flows and past steaming volcanic fissures. After entering the high montane forest to traverse the fourth section, the fifth and final ascent is a steep 300m to the summit.
Once at the top, exhaustion melts away as Nyiragongo offers an exhilarating gift to those who have conquered its slopes: the world’s largest lava lake churning away in a mosaic of molten red fire. The most breathtaking spectacle is saved for last, however, when the sun goes down and Nyiragongo begins its nightly glow against a backdrop of stars.

Climbing Mount NyiragongoAfter completing the second part, hikers have to now deal with not only the small loose rocks but slippery stones and the difficult conditions of higher altitude. By the time you reach the fourth segment, the mountain slopes gets steeper and steeper with greater cold due to high altitude. Apart from the cold, its common to find rains at this section – Warm clothes and rain jackets will be required. The final part is the steepest but also shortest. The cabins can be sighted from this point and that is enough motivation for even the most tired hiker. Hikers who manage to reach this section are allowed to complete the rest of the hike at their own comfortable pace. You might find our 2 days Nyiragongo hike package interesting.

降りる
After marveling at the boiling lava lake and magma, it is time to descend. Descending is much faster and it takes about three hours hours to reach the starting point. However it is not as easy at it seems. Climbing down through sharp rocks and steep sections can be very challenging and one needs to be cautious so not to be hurt by the sharp rocks.

ニーラゴンゴ山の登山に関する追加情報
The best time to hike Mount Nyiragongo: Hiking Mount Nyiragongo can be done throughout the year, but the dry season is preferred by tourists. The dry season falls between June and September and also December, January and February. The rainy seasons cause the trails to be more slippery and difficult for hikers.

The mountain becomes steeper as one ascends, while climbing down has its own challenges – Knee and ankle pain because of pressure. The weather conditions get more challenging as one ascends the mountain. You need to take that into consideration, especially if you are sensitive to extreme weather changes.
精神的な準備: 健康であることがすべてではないため、これが重要です。直面する可能性のあるあらゆる困難にもかかわらず、ハイキングを完遂するという決意が必要です。ハイキングの数週間前から家の周りの岩や丘で軽いハイキングに出かけることで、心と体の準備を整えることができます。
Use a stick for hiking: A hiking stick will help you climb up and down steep slopes by helping you maintain balance and relieve the knees from greater strain. Climbing sticks are available at the starting point. And keep your valuables safe: Always keep your valuables like cameras, money and laptops close to you even while at the cabins with fellow hikers.

よくある質問
What are the age and fitness requirements?
To participate in some of these activities, you must be old enough, as it will be difficult for kids who will not be able to manage walking and hiking those long trails since they are slippery and sometimes have stones; therefore, the age limit is that participants must be at least 12 years old. Moderate to challenging fitness is required. The trail includes steep, rocky terrain and wobbling volcanic gravel, but slow pacing is allowed
Where do you sleep at the top?
Being at Mount Nyiragoro is not easy, and therefore accommodations at that place are always so difficult to get, and the Hikers stay in 12 basic summit cabins/huts on the crater rim. Mattresses and pillows are provided inside the huts, but you must bring your own sleeping bag. Temperatures at the summit drop to icy cold at night
What gear should you pack?
Ensure you carry sturdy hiking boots with good ankle support, warm layers, gloves, and a warm hat for freezing nighttime temperatures, a rain jacket and lightweight waterproof gear, walking sticks, torch/flashlight, and spare dry shoes or plastic bag liners. It is Mandatory to have a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate and a valid passport/visa
