This 9-day Rwenzori Mountains hiking and climbing package in Uganda is our top offering for experienced mountain climbers. The snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains, also known as the “Mountains of the Moon,” are located along the western Rift Valley, straddling the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

Rising to an impressive 5,109 meters, the Rwenzori range is one of the primary sources of water for the great River Nile. The Queen Elizabeth and Virunga National Parks are nestled within these mountains, providing hikers with the chance to explore dense forests, pristine lakes, and flowing rivers, while spotting a variety of wildlife. Bird species, primates, and large mammals such as buffalo, hippos, elephants, and lions can all be encountered in this breathtaking region.
