Kwafrika Travel brings you through a 13 Days Nyiragongo Volcano and Rwenzori Mountain Hiking. In this trek up the mountains, trekkers combine lava with glaciers. Nyiragongo is a beautiful stratovolcano that features the world’s largest lava lake. Rwenzori mountains are the Africa’s third highest peak, the Margherita Peak.
Nyiragongo summit is located at 3470 m of altitude while Margherita Peak is located at 5109 m of altitude, the conditions at that altitude are mostly chilly, with the peaks covered in glaciers on many occasions. As you trek up the two mountains, the flora is diverse with trees and valleys of ferns. The trees are alive with many species of birds and animals (Rwenzori Turaco, Guerrezzas monkey, Cercopithecus (Red tailed monkeyguenon) and primates) in the forest.
