Overview

Step off the beaten path and conquer Uganda's natural giants with an unforgettable volcano trekking experience. Choose your challenge from the three extinct Virunga volcanoes located in the southwestern Mgahinga Gorilla National Park: the gentler Mount Gahinga (3474m), the challenging, crater-lake-crowned Mount Muhabura (4127m), or the rugged Mount Sabinyo (3669m), where you can stand in three countries at once. Each summit offers unparalleled views across the Virunga Massif.

For a multi-day adventure, target the massive Mount Elgon (4321m) in Eastern Uganda, home to one of the world's largest intact volcanic craters. This hike takes several days and guides you past dramatic waterfalls, large caves, and a unique, endemic array of flora. For your safety, every trek is accompanied by an experienced local guide and an armed ranger.

Climb towards equatorial snow-capped peaks and experience Africa's most diverse climactic zones. No other activity rivals the physical and spiritual reward that comes from conquering these majestic mountains. This activity is pure adrenaline, incredible scenery, and a celebration of your own endurance.
