The Rwenzori Mountain is a world-class hiking and mountaineering destination. A 9 to 12-Day trek will get skilled climbers to the snow-capped (all year) summit of Margherita. Rwenzori has some of the greatest features in Africa such as the third highest mountain peak in the continent being the snow-capped Margherita, the breathtaking plant life.
A variety of animals inhabits the lower slopes as an addition to its natural beauty but the Rwenzori is famous for the majestic scenery and varied vegetation. The trails lead through rain forests full of monkeys and birds then on to tall bamboo forests, before emerging on the high altitude moorland zone, a landscape of bizarre giant lobelias, towered over by black rock and white snowy peaks. For the adventurers and those who prefer something a bit strenuous, this fabled “Mountains of the Moon” is without a doubt your dream.

Hike through a landscape that feels like another planet, dominated by giant lobelias, otherworldly groundsels, and thick, neon-green moss covering the heather forests.
For travelers who want to experience the mountains without climbing the peaks, BIC Tours organizes 1-to-3 day lower-altitude treks following rushing glacial rivers, pristine valley boardwalks, and beautiful forest waterfalls.
Meet the resilient Bakonjo people who have lived in the foothills of these mountains for generations. Visit their traditional blacksmiths, consult a village medicine man, and hear stories of how they navigate the snowy peaks.
