Elgon Treks

Mount Elgon, whose peaks reach 4320 meters, lies astride the Kenya-Uganda border. Like most of the other great mountains of East Africa, Mount Elgon represents the remains of an immense volcano. It has one of the world's largest craters; of the several summits Wagagai (4320m) is the highest.

There is no permanent snow on the mountain but its bleak and craggy peaks are surrounded with the typical afro-alpine vegetation of the high mountains of the equator. The giant groundsel and lobelia grow over the 3650-meter level, and for much of the year everlasting flowers like the Helichrysum cover the moorlands as far as the eye can see. It is an eye feast for the visitor with scenic beauty in mind and an unusual experience for the discerning guest. Enquire from us to make your booking now!

Rwenzori Mountain

Mount Rwenzori is Africa's tallest mountain range, exceeded in altitude only by the freestanding Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, that is situated west of the country on the Congo border, close to Kasese and this park covers an area of 998 sq km. The 120km Rwenzori chain is regarded to be the legendary snow-capped Mountains of the Moon, described by Ptolemy in AD150, reaching an elevation of 5,109m.

A variety of large mammals inhabit the lower slopes, but the Rwenzoris are notable more for their majestic scenery and varied vegetation.The trails lead through rainforest rattling with monkeys and birds, then tall bamboo forest, before emerging on the high-altitude moorland zone, a landscape of bizarre giant lobelias, towered over by black rock and white snow, looking for the entire world like the set of a science fiction film. Accommodation and huts are found along the trail. Find out more...

Mount Kenya

At 5,199 m. high, Mount Kenya is Africa's second highest mountain. It offers easy or challenging ascents with superb scenic beauty.

Part of the mountain's fascination is the variation in flora and fauna as the altitude changes. The lower slopes are covered with dry upland forest, the true montane forest begins at 2,000 m. is mainly cedar and podo. At 2,500 m. begins a dense belt of of bamboo forest which merges into the upper forest of smaller trees, interspesed with glades. In this area the trees are festooned with high altitude moss. These forest belts are host to many different animals and plants with at least 11 unique species.

There is only one lodge inside the Park, seven climbers huts and three self-help banda sites. Just outside the Park there are three lodges and another self-help banda site. Click here for a chance to enjoy this wonderful scenery.

Scaling Kili

At 5895m, the highest peak in Africa, "Kili" is capped by splendid summit ice fields and, on its south-western flank, dramatic icy precipices are best viewed from the less-used and spectacular Umbwe or Machame routes (not the normal Marangu route). The summit plateau with its maze of ice pinnacles, ice-caves, sulphur fumaroles and the central ash pit are best explored from a camp in the caldera.

Kilimanjaro Trekking - Year round
We offer a variety of trips. Our most basic are the 5-day Marangu Route (this is the easiest, shortest, and most popular trek on the mountain) and the 6-day Machame Route, which is longer, but more scenic.

Other routes include:
- The Rongai Route; this one is hardly climbed, but is generally easier than Marangu and Machame.
- The Umbwe Route; for those interested in climbing we recommend walking up this route, as it is slightly steeper than Machame.
