Uganda
Rwenzori Mountains
Plan a serious Rwenzori expedition: compare Central Circuit and Kilembe, understand Margherita’s technical summit, and prepare for altitude, bog and equatorial mountain weather.
Kenya · Tanzania · Uganda
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda each need a different plan.
Kenya can connect mountains, safari and coast. Tanzania changes with the northern circuit, Kilimanjaro and the season. Uganda asks you to plan around forests, primates, the Nile and the Rwenzori. Start with the country, then compare the regions that give it its character.
