We had no problems with security, but our trip was arranged by Jean Bosco from Virunga Amani Tours in Goma. He brought us there and picked us up. I wouldn’t go on my own through Goma. Tours are always accompanied by armed guides/rangers and always include one night on the edge of the crater. There are no one-day-tours.

Hi, you can book directly through Virunga National Park. Go to their VisitVirunga website and have a look at Package 1 – Nyiragongo.

It is not possible. You need two days. The real experience of the volcano comes during the night you spend on the rim. You dont see much during the day.

I would imagine you could with extra money but the highlight is in the evening when it lights up and gives it a better look.

Hi Mr. Outdoor Coocon, There is no problem in my view in doing Nyiragongo in 36 hrs as it is actually very close to Goma. It really depends upon where your 36-hour time frame has to start. I would recommend a company called Kasitu Eco Tours who are based in Goma. They organised my family's trip in May from Kigali and all went very well. They can be found easily on the web and their phone number is +243 997 033 824. Speak to a gentleman called Bercky. They are recommended by Virunga National Park, we found them reliable, trustworthy and easy to deal with. We sent them money from overseas without problem. Obviously all tours to Virunga NP are presently suspended but there is no reason why you cannot still use the time to plan as I expect them to reopen before the end of the year or maybe January 2019. The Nyiragongo Volcano is really worth the effort to climb and see.
