The Rwenzori Mountains, the legendary “Mountains of the Moon,” form a UNESCO World Heritage range straddling Uganda and the DR Congo. Their snow-capped peaks, hanging glaciers and surreal high-altitude flora make them one of the most extraordinary trekking destinations on Earth.

Treks for Every Ambition

Routes range from gentle one-day nature walks through the foothills to demanding multi-day expeditions toward Margherita Peak (5,109 m), Africa’s third-highest summit.

A Living Wonderland

The trek climbs through distinct vegetation zones, from montane forest to the bizarre, giant lobelias and groundsels of the Afro-alpine moorland — a landscape unlike anywhere else in Africa.
