Though many have known Uganda for gorilla safaris, the experience goes beyond to mountains in different corners of the country.
Regardless of your fitness, Uganda has both short and long hiking spots to meet you expectations. Interestingly, Uganda’s popular volcanoes/ mountains are situated in national parks such as Rwenzori national park, Mt Elgon national park and Mgahinga gorilla national park.
This is an added advantage for travelers to encounter various wild animals such as Gorilla in Mgahinga among others in other national parks. The summit of each mountain/ Volcano reward travelers with spectacular views of nearby communities, wildlife and other attractions in the neighborhood.
Uganda’s popular mountaineering spots include Mt. Rwenzori, Virunga Volcanoes in Mgahinga National park and Mt. Elgon National parks.
You may be familiar with the Alps, the Caucus, the Himalayas or even the Rockies, however if you haven’t yet explored the Rwenzoris you still have something wonderful to see.
Of the three East African mountains, the Rwenzori languish in a kind of half consciousness, aloof from the main stream trekking routes and rarely visited in comparison to its famous cousins Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya.
