Rwenzori trails are wet; waterproofs and boots are essential.
Where This Fits in a Uganda Itinerary
Rwenzori Mountains National Park, the "Mountains of the Moon", rises above Kasese in western Uganda. Short guided trails give a taste of its mossy forest without a multi-day expedition.
Choose a short trail like this if you want a Rwenzori experience without a multi-day trek. Whatever you choose, build days around travel time: driving distances between the parks are long, and early starts are normal on a Uganda safari. If you are comparing destinations, start with Uganda's national parks and our Uganda safaris and tours.
