1 Day Mount Sabyinyo Hiking Adventure
Description
A 1-day Mount Sabinyo hike is the most challenging but more rewarding hike to the oldest volcano in the Virunga ranges. The Sabinyo Volcano is shared by three 3-countries, i.e, Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC, and it is locally known as “old man’s teeth” because of its serrated top resembling the spaced teeth in an Old man’s gum line as opposed to perfect summits. Standing at 3,645 above sea Level, Sabinyo is home to diverse biodiversity and every hiker's dream destination.
