Wilderness Sabyinyo : Wilderness Sabyinyo – A Trip To Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes visit with views of Virunga Volcanoes

The trip to the Twin Lakes covers Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo, situated near the Ugandan border between Musanze and Cyanika. The lakes lie beneath the Virunga Volcanoes, with hills surrounding them to create a natural frame for the blue waters. Visitors can walk gently around one lake, observing local birdlife. Due to steep terrain, many prefer to drive up a small track to a hilltop lodge. This lodge offers a place to rest and drink while taking in panoramic views. The lakes lie 45 minutes by car from Wilderness Sabyinyo, accessible via a tarmac road or a scenic dirt route winding along the mountain.
