Rwenzori Mountains Mini-Hike
- Semliki National Park Safari - Uganda
Get a taste of the Mountains of the Moon, the Ugandan
Alps, a one day hike into the Rwenzori Mountains-Discover the Pearl
of Africa with Kabiza Wilderness Safaris.
Mountains and Mountains and lots more mountains, snow
covered peaks, glaciers on the equator, yet there are two factors that
prevent many people from visiting this fantastic, tallest mountain range
in all of Africa - Time and Money. In most cases people take a
7 day journey through the mountains can cost just for the hike and fees
over 700 dollars USD per person. That does not include the transport
and extra things needed. We get many requests for the Rwenzori
mountains but the price and the time factors involved limit people from
enjoying this fabulous region of Uganda, plus you will need a lot of
less equipment and supplies.
Take a look below and write to us regarding this fabulous
mountain experience in the heart of Africa. This Mountain Safari
can easily combined with another such as Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Mountain Gorilla Safari, and or Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda
Wildlife Safari.
