Have you ever experienced trekking in the Rwenzori mountains? The Rwenzori mountain is the tallest mountain in Uganda also known as the mountains of the moon. The Rwenzoris are at the border of DRC and Uganda and stretch 65kms wide and 120kms long. The Ugandan part is 43kms wide and 120kms long which is fantastic. Rwenzoris are the highest block of mountains on the african continent and the most technical mountains on the continent. The rwenzoris are composed of majorly 6 peaks in number. The 6 peaks are Stanley( highest point is 5109m ( Margherita peak), followed by Speke 4890m, followed by Baker 4843m, followed by Gessi 4798m, then Emin 4793 then Luigi Di savoia 4627( all higher than mountain elgon which summits at 4322m high) The rwenzoris have a vegetation that is unique to the equatorial alpine Africa. It probably has plants and animals that are endemic to it as a mountain. Kilimanjaro for example is for example a walking mountain with one single standing peak called the Kibo. In terms of single peak, Kibo( Kilimanjaro) is the highest, followed by mountain kenya then the rwenzoris. One can take about 5 days to and from the peak not the rwenzoris are a different ball game. #Mountain_Rwenzoris #Uganda #hiking #mountainrwenzori #hikers #hike #hikingadventures #hikingboots #hikes #hiking_hobby #hikingtrails #hikingmountains #mountainbike #mountainhiking #hikingshoes #PremierLeague #Visituganda #bloggerstribe #blogginggals #lbloggers #bloggerswanted #visituganda #Africanbirds #BloggerLoveShare #fbloggers #bloggers Photo credit: Ssebuuma Ivan (at Muyenga, Kampala) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFRMA-mnLt5/?igshid=17pqbj63pivs5
