MOUNTAIN RWENZORI | MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON | UGANDA

Описание: Yeep... Yeep.... I came here for the snow. I wanted to first experience it at home, in Uganda, Africa. The difference with those in the other countries is that I had to work way too hard to see this SNOW. Now I am ready to Travel else where and experience it on the streets haha...

Climbing the Rwenzori Mountains also known as the Mountains of the Moon is a challenging and rewarding adventure that offers unique trekking experience through diverse ecosystems and stunning landscapes.

The Rwenzori are ranges of mountains in eastern equatorial Africa, located on the border between Uganda and Democratic Republic of the Congo. The highest peak of the Rwenzori reaches 5,109m, the peak was previously marked as permanently snow capped, due to climate change, this is no more accurate.

In this video, we will travel together through this hidden paradise in the heart of Africa. Expect to experience different vegetation zones, high elevation bogs, crystal clear lakes to rocky peaks, glacier, snow. Buckle up for the hard terrain, and rough climb but totally worth it for the effort of all mountains and nature lovers.

I also dedicate this video to my grand dad who is not able to climb but surely enjoys my madness at the comfort of his Chair, get well soon. And to my 80+ years old self when I will be admiring the mountains from far... hahaha.

And now to you that loves exploring in all forms. This is some thing you will love. I also look forward to meeting you on the trail soon.

Big Thank You to my friend Yusuf Mugaga Kasajja, Outdoorsy Uganda , The Rwenzori Rangers Hikers Association, The Guides, All the 8 Porters, and The Chef for all the support. And to the Uganda Wildlife Authority for making the mountains accessible for all. And the facilities for a homely stay in the mountains.

I am going back to Mountain Rwenzori till my knees fall off. The most beautiful place I have been to so far.

NB: Practice responsible trekking by adhering to Leave No Trace principles. Respect the environment and minimize your impact on the fragile ecosystems of the Mountain Rwenzori.
