The famed Rwenzori, also known as the Mountain of the Moon, is situated on the boundary between Uganda and Congo. In AD150, the geographer Ptolemy mentioned a snow-clad mountain chain in the heart of Africa and hypothesized it to be the origin of the Nile, Africa’s longest river. During the trek, hikers can observe a diverse selection of wildlife, including black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and exotic reptiles like the three-horned chameleon. They can explore a range of vegetation zones, from the lowland montane forest and bamboo forest to tree heathers and afro-alpine, sheltering over 216 bird species. There are 9 reptile species and 6 amphibian species. Moreover, the breathtaking views of the snowy peaks of Mount Rwenzori, Lake Bujuku, valleys, rock formations, and waterfalls add to the enriching trekking experience.
