Gumboots are required for most of the time to cover muddy sections and will be provided. Believe it or not, they had much better grip on all kind of ground and did not cause any blister. Only that I would take my own gumboots with steel caps next time to avoid toes getting hurt.
Ruwenzori Mountains in the border region Uganda and Kongo with 5109m (Margherita Peak) the third highest and snow covered mountains in Africa. It consists of six massifs with three peaks above 5000m and close to 20 peaks above 4000m.
Annual rainfall is about 2500mm. You have a good chance to experience rain also during dry season. But hiking in this environment is definitely worth it with amazing nature and views. Pass various vegetation zones (tropical rain forest, bamboo zone, heather zone, alpine zone, rock and ice zone) with the so-called heather zone the most outstanding to me.
