Mount Muhabura, Extinct volcano in Virunga Mountains, Rwanda.
Mount Muhabura reaches 4,127 meters above sea level and contains a crater lake near its summit surrounded by giant heather vegetation.
The volcano experienced its final eruption during the Holocene period, with a nearby parasitic crater displaying more recent geological activity.
The mountain's name translates to 'The Guide' in Kinyarwanda, reflecting its role as a natural landmark for people across Rwanda and Uganda.
Hiking permits are available at the Volcanoes National Park headquarters in Kinigi, with climbs starting at 7:00 AM and lasting a full day.
From the summit, visitors observe twin lakes and the entire Virunga mountain range while standing at the precise border between Rwanda and Uganda.
