By Road.

Getting to Rwenzori Mountain national park, the complete trip time is roughly 4 hrs driving because Fort Portal road is roughly 300km from Kampala and can be reached via Mityana – Mubende town. Reaching Mountain Rwenzori via Kasese is roughly 350km from Kampala, via Masaka – Mbarara – Bushenyi. For almost six hours, Kasese’s path was rather long. To prove the experiment of the equator, nevertheless, there is a stopover at the equator line. Furthermore, there are additional fascinating vistas since it passes through the outstanding Queen Elizabeth National Park with an optional stop on your safari, therefore lengthening and taxing your day.

By Air.

Entebbe International Airport provides scheduled flights, from which you will land at Kasese airstrip, from which you will spend roughly an hour and a half well planned. From here, you can go a little distance about thirty minutes to the park. The morning flight leaves at 0700 h, arrives at 1005 h; the afternoon flight leaves at 1200 arriving at 1415. Over changing terrain, the flight is breathtakingly beautiful.

Among the African mountains, Rwenzori Mountain National Park boasts the highest range. At Mount Stanley, its highest points are Alexandra (5,083m) and Margherita (5,109m). Only Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, both extinct volcanoes isolated above the surrounding plains, exceed these at altitude elsewhere in Africa.

Once you reach mountain Rwenzori, you will find how special this is among the main mountains in East Africa. Apart from Mount Stanley, Mount Speke (4,890m), Mount Emin (4,791m), Mount Gessi (4,715m) and Mount Luigi da Savoia (4,527m) have four other glacier summits in Rwenzori.

One might choose to go chimpanzee trekking inside the neighboring Kibale National Park before reaching Rwenzori Mountain. A great gorilla trekking trip to Bwindi Impenetrable could further enhance the tour.
