Rwenzori Mountains National Park

Rwenzori Mountains National Park protects Africa's third-highest range, the legendary Mountains of the Moon, whose snow-capped Margherita Peak rises to 5,109 metres.

Multi-day treks pass through distinct vegetation zones - montane forest, giant heather, lobelia fields and glaciers - with endemic flora found nowhere else on Earth.

Shorter day hikes from trailheads near Kasese reward visitors with waterfalls, colobus monkeys and panoramic Rift Valley views without committing to a summit expedition.
