Rwenzori Mountains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Uganda, offers challenging but rewarding hiking and mountaineering experiences. The park is known for its diverse plant life, glaciers, waterfalls, and unique wildlife. Due to the rugged terrain, accessibility can be difficult, and visitors should be prepared for strenuous physical activity. Solo trekking is generally not recommended; guided tours are essential for safety and navigation. The best time to visit is during the dry seasons (December-February and June-August) to avoid heavy rains and muddy trails. A typical trek can last from a few days to over a week, depending on the route and peak you're aiming for, with costs varying significantly based on the duration, permits, and services required, typically ranging from several hundred to thousands of dollars. Be sure to book permits and guides well in advance. While permits do not differ based on citizenship, park entrance fees do.
