Mount Muhavura, an extinct volcano in Uganda, offers challenging but rewarding hiking experiences with stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Due to the rugged terrain, accessibility can be difficult, and a reasonable level of fitness is required. It is advisable to undertake the climb with a guided tour for safety and navigation purposes. The dry seasons (June to August and December to February) are generally the best times to visit, as the trails can become slippery and dangerous during the rainy seasons. The cost for climbing permits and guides can vary, but expect to spend a significant amount, typically a few hundred dollars. A typical visit to the summit and back can take a full day, usually between 6 to 8 hours, depending on your pace and the weather conditions. The volcano is part of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and has an entrance fee to be considered.
