Hiking Rwenzori and Elgon Mountains

 

Rwenzori Hiking

The central Circuit is perhaps the main trail which you can complete in abour 4 to 10 days. It all depends on the tour option of your choice.

 

The central circuit is divided into trips, with each trip beginning and ending at an established camp site. Each stage is designed to be covered in one day. The trail begins at the Park entrance in Nyakalengija, passes through Nyabitaba Camp, heads through John Matte Camp, Bujuku, Elena (optional), Kitandara, Guy Yoeman, returns to Nyabitaba before heading back down to Nyakilegija.

 

On your journey you will be accompanied by an armed ranger, a guide and of course your porters. It pays a great deal to engage them. Though their English is not always up to par, you will find them very interesting, highly knowledgeable and friendly.

 

More experienced trekkers may wish to discuss alternative itineraries with their guide (it is perfectly acceptable to skip some stages), although it is wise to give due consideration to your guide's advice!
