Overview

The Rwenzoris mountains are home to numerous rare and endemic creatures in addition to stunning glaciers, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. Because of their striking beauty and block-like shape, Rwenzori mountain climbing and trekking experiences are regarded as the best in Africa and the ninth in the world. Adventurers can pick from a variety of routes that lead up to the peak. The Central Circuit is a 7-day, 6-night journey that allows the fittest to climb Margherita's highest peak. In addition, it is the most expedient and historically significant trail up to the top. Somewhat milder hikes can be found on other shorter routes, like the 3-day Mahoma loop, the 2-day, one-night hike (if you decide to stay overnight), and the 1-day Nyabitaba nature tour.
