Rwenzori Mountains National Park, Uganda

About this experience

The Rwenzori, often called the Mountains of the Moon, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s highest ranges. A guided day hike from the park’s trailheads climbs through montane forest towards the bamboo and heather zones, with waterfalls and moss-draped trees along the way.

It gives walkers a taste of this unique mountain environment without a demanding multi-day expedition.
