Overview

- Rwenzori Mountains National Park
Why visit
The Rwenzori range rises along Uganda’s western border. Forest, bamboo and high moorland give its walking routes very different landscapes as the altitude changes.
Things to do
What happens
UWA describes shorter, non-technical treks as well as technical summit climbs. Guided nature walks and visits to nearby Bakonzo communities offer other ways to explore the area.
Before you go
Good to know
Route choice, guide arrangements, equipment and current trail conditions need confirmation before travel. A summit climb requires different preparation from a lower-level walk; no departure or permit availability is confirmed here.
