Rwenzori Mountians National Park

The distinctive glacial Rwenzori mountain peaks are a preserve of hikers, who regard the mountain as the most challenging of all African mountains. The Rwenzoris are notable for their majestic scenery and vegetation. The trails lead through rainforest rattling with monkeys and birds, tall bamboo forests, before emerging on the high- altitude moorland zone, a landscape of unusual giant lobelias, towered over by black rock and white snow. The snowcapped 998 sq mile Rwenzori has an elevation reaching 5,109m, Africa’s third highest peak.
