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.
攀登尼拉贡戈山
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.

通过注册旅行社提前预订并确认尼拉贡戈山徒步许可证。徒步许可证上注明了徒步旅行者的姓名、徒步的确切日期，并确保在山顶过夜的住宿空间。在旅行前花一些时间锻炼身体，让身体保持适当的状态，以最大程度地减少在旅行中感到疲惫和兴奋的可能性。在许多情况下，正确的着装和合适的装备决定了荒野探险的成功率。尽力获得以下物品并为旅行做好相应的准备。
• 携带更新的身份证明文件。
• 远足、学习靴可帮助您在湿滑地面、崎岖地形和尖锐岩石上轻松行动。
• 戴上手套，以防旅行者跌倒在陡坡上时免受尖锐石头和灼热表面的伤害。
• 带上防水布、雨具或雨披。
• 带上保暖的衣服、毛衣或夹克。
• 需要使用手杖才能在不平坦的岩石和湿滑的地面上保持平衡。
• 徒步旅行护腿和自行车手臂保暖器非常重要。
• 旅行社安排饮用水和补充能量的小吃。
• 将相机电池充满电，并在需要时携带备用电池。寒冷会影响电池性能，没有人愿意错过任何拍照机会。笔记;尼拉贡戈山顶上的电力机会为零。
健康状况；任何身体健全的人都可以徒步前往尼拉贡戈山，但成功的徒步探险需要一定程度的身体健康。高海拔地区氧气含量减少，影响人类呼吸。尼拉贡戈山徒步探险活动专为 12 岁以上、以前没有心脏病并发症的健康人士而设。对于患有心脏病的人来说，为了参加徒步探险而隐瞒这一重要的健康信息是一个很高的风险。建议在旅行日期前几个月强调补充能量的饮食。多吃水果、喝果汁和酒精含量较低的液体，让身体保持良好的水分状态。
在熔岩湖边缘观看夜间火山喷发时，请格外小心并保持安全距离。岩石很滑，表面很粗糙。再加上高海拔导致的呼吸不良、夜间黑暗导致的能见度以及过度疲劳，增加了踉踉跄跄和绊倒的风险。

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.
Be in Good Shape: Climbing Mount Nyiragongo is challenging and requires one to be fit. 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.

常见问题解答
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
