The Rwenzori Mountains rise on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their peaks are often hidden by cloud, but when they appear, snowy summits above the equator are unforgettable.
Trails climb through bamboo, moss-draped forest and giant heather. Longer treks reach Margherita Peak at 5,109 metres, while shorter hikes offer gentler views.
