Trekking Rwenzori - Margherita Peak and Safari in Uganda

Uganda has two wonderful pearls: the Ruwenzori Mountains with the world's most mystical and unique long-distance trail, the Central Circuit and the mountain gorillas of the Bwindi-Impenetrable National Park.

Trekking Rwenzori - Margherita Peak

In the Rwenzori-Mountains you walk through an incomparable dream landscape. The multi-day trekking tour on the Central Circuit leads you through mystical rainforest with giant Senezia and Lobelia. In total, five different vegetation zones are traversed. Nowhere in the world is the density of plants so high as in the Ruwenzori Mountains. The whole thing is framed by a beautiful mountain scenery. For climbers, the tour on the Central Circuit with the ascent of the third highest peak in Mt Stanley massif, the Margherita Peak (5,109m), offers a special highlight.
Overnight stays in mountain huts. During the trekking you will be accompanied by an experienced guide.
