Adventure destination
Uganda
Uganda is one of Africa's strongest mountain countries for travellers who want real trekking and summit objectives rather than safari-first itineraries. The country combines the glaciated Rwenzori high peaks with long volcanic walking on Mount Elgon, giving a compact portfolio of alpine-style expeditions, hut-to-hut treks, and shorter summit trips that can be packaged into serious mountain journeys.
