Hiking the Rwenzori Mountains

Following Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya, the Rwenzori Mountains are Africa's third tallest mountains. Its highest point, Margherita, lies at 5,109 meters above sea level. Perhaps one of Rwenzori's distinctive characteristics is its snow-capped top, which is unusual in a location that absorbs a lot of sunlight for much of the year.

Because of their remarkable ecology, the Rwenzori Mountains are also a nature reserve. Most hikers intend to conquer the summit of Mt. Stanley. To reach all three peaks, it takes at least 10 days of trekking and resting at several camps. Aside from the Rwenzori Mountains, Mt. Muhabura, Mt. Moroto, Mt. Sabyinyo, Mt. Elgon, and Mount Gahinga may all be climbed.
