Beautiful hike with amazing views, unforgettable way to experience the national park
Karisoke Research Center - Dian Fossey Camp的点评
点评:Let me start by providing some practical information as we found it tricky to get any real details before we arrived in Rwanda. You start at the Volcanos national park at 7am for sign in, free hot drink on arrival and there is a great atmosphere as everyone gathers for their respective hikes or gorilla trips. Once there you need to self drive (or your driver) about 30 mins to the trail start in a beautiful rural town on the volcano side. The last 15 minutes are real off road, walking pace speed crawling over boulders and rocks, a 4x4 is absolutely mandatory ( our Landcruiser was perfectly capable). The hike starts in farm land and rises quickly and steeply to the park entrance. Once inside a gate you will collect your military escort and begin the amazing walk inside the ethereal misty forest. Expect another steep section that flattens out to deep mud and bog in wet season, be careful not to lose your shoes. Once at the top the camp itself is relatively unassuming (non existent really) but its poignant and interesting to see. We did not see gorilla but we did get stopped by large mountain buffalo and our soldier escort stepped in to move them on (very dangerous animals). Overall a fab experience, would not recommend if totally unfit or inexperienced in hiking, the altitude is significant (3500m) and at points it is constant climbing. That said, as an averagely fit 30 something it was not so hard and the 70+Yr old hiker in our group managed just fine! A great way to experience the national park
翻译:让我首先提供一些实用信息,因为我们发现在抵达卢旺达之前很难获得任何真实的详细信息。您早上 7 点从火山国家公园出发办理登记手续,抵达后可享用免费热饮,每个人都聚集在一起进行各自的徒步旅行或大猩猩之旅,气氛非常好。到达那里后,您需要自驾(或您的司机)约 30 分钟即可到达位于火山一侧美丽乡村小镇的小径起点。最后 15 分钟是真正的越野,步行速度在巨石和岩石上爬行,四驱车绝对是必需的(我们的陆地巡洋舰完全有能力)。徒步旅行从农田开始,快速而陡峭地上升到公园入口。进入大门后,您将聚集您的军事护卫,并开始在空灵的迷雾森林中漫步。在雨季,预计会有另一个陡峭的部分变平,变成深泥和沼泽,小心不要丢失鞋子。一旦到达山顶,营地本身就相对不起眼(实际上并不存在),但看到它却令人心酸且有趣。我们没有看到大猩猩,但我们确实被大山水牛拦住了,我们的士兵护送介入将它们转移(非常危险的动物)。总的来说,这是一次很棒的体验,如果完全不适合或没有徒步旅行经验,则不推荐,海拔很高(3500m),而且在某些地方需要不断攀爬。也就是说,作为一个平均身材 30 岁左右的人来说,这并不难,而且我们团队中的 70 岁以上的徒步旅行者表现得很好!体验国家公园的绝佳方式
