3 Days Sabyinyo Mountain Hike | Hiking 3669m Top of Mountain Sabinyo

Climbing to the top of Mt. Sabinyo is one of the most adventurous hikes you’ll go through. It has three hills at varying heights; 3423m, 3537m and the highest at 3669m. Mount Sabinyo is one of the volcanoes of Mount Mgahinga in southwestern Uganda, but shared with Rwanda and Congo. It is however only in Uganda that this mountain can be hiked because of the extremely rugged and rough terrain in the other two countries. A journey to Kisoro town before the day of hiking takes about 8-9 hours.
