Uganda Rwenzori Mountains

Climb to the top of Africa’s third-highest mountain while avoiding the kind of crowds found at Kilimanjaro with a hike in the stunning Rwenzori mountains. Located on the western border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mount Stanley, at 5,109m, is Uganda’s highest point.

Early accounts from 19th century explorers like Henry Morton Stanley and fiction writers like Joseph Conrad depicted Africa as uncivilised, mysterious and barbaric, reflecting the racist attitudes that underpinned European empire building.
