 THE RWENZORI MAJESTY THE RWENZORI MAJESTY

This 7-day Mountain Rwenzori hiking is one of the most physical and yet still most interesting of hikes you can do while in Uganda. The mountain lies close to the equator in the South and stretches high up to a height of 5,109 meters above sea level. Surrounded by breath taking scenery and resting at different camps, hikers will hike to the peak of this snow-capped mountain. We, however, do organize customized trips to the area based on the number of days and one’s capability to hike, taking into consideration how high one is willing to go.
