Descrição
Discover the Rwenzori Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a trekking tour. Trek through five distinct vegetation zones, spot rare wildlife, and enjoy breathtaking views.
Discover the Rwenzori Mountains, a hidden gem on the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Unlike the crowded trails of Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzori offers a wilderness trekking experience with minimal tourist traffic.
Trek through five distinct vegetation zones, from tropical rainforest and bamboo forests to heath, alpine meadows, and glacier fields. Marvel at the snow-capped peaks on the Equator, one of only three places in Africa with permanent snow and glaciers.
Explore the Rwenzori Central Circuit Trek, a challenging and rewarding multi-day trek to Margherita Peak, Africa’s third-highest peak. Alternatively, take the Kilembe Trail, a scenic route through lush valleys and alpine terrain. For those with less time, enjoy short hikes ideal for nature lovers and photographers.
Spot over 200 species of birds, including the Rwenzori Turaco, and encounter blue monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, and forest elephants. Discover endemic flora like giant lobelias, groundsel, and heather trees found only in the Rwenzoris.
Capture misty mountain landscapes, glacial lakes, and local Bakonzo culture. Add cultural tours to learn about the indigenous communities who have lived around the mountains for centuries.
