Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Entebbe to the Rwenzori Mountains, a journey of approximately 6-7 hours. Along the way, enjoy stunning views of Uganda’s lush countryside, passing tea plantations, rolling hills, and local villages. You’ll arrive at the Rwenzori National Park base in the afternoon, where you’ll check into trekkers hostel, meet your guides, and go through a briefing on the trek ahead. Take the evening to relax, enjoy the cool mountain air, and prepare for the exciting climb that awaits!

We start by walking up the valley floor through tall forest trees of the Afro Montane Forest Zone. This is a steady climb for the first six kilometers then after crossing a river it is a steep climb up to Sine Camp. The forest trees are tall with multitudes of birds and a chance of seeing blue monkeys scampering off through the forest. Enock’s Falls are just 200 meters from Sine Hut and offer a splendid opportunity to capture a great screensaver for your memories as brightly clouded green lichen grow on the many lives hanging from the trees with the waterfall as a background

At Sine Camp 2,596 metres we have wooden huts set between tall forest trees on a narrow ridge where you may sit and enjoy the beautiful forest while you look down at a long set of rapids and waterfall crashing over the rocks. Some clients prefer to sit outside enjoying the warmth of the campfire and chat to the guides about the mountains and life in their community. Sine is just below the bamboo zone and the area around has many different bird species. 150 meters from the camp is Enock falls which is set in livid green vegetation and hanging vine. Truly beautiful

From Sine Camp, we start by climbing up through the bamboo forests which are quite steep but very beautiful and inspiring. AS you climb through the upper part of the bamboo zone there is small patches of mixed forest trees many of which bear fruits, berries and this attracts many different types of birds. You will hear the calls of the Rwenzori Turaco bird which has bright red or crimson wings and a magnificent sight as they fly between trees.  Also during the drier season the female Malachite Sunbird comes down the mountain to feed on nectar producing flowers before heading back to the high altitudes to mate and rear their young. At about 3,00 metres altitude you reach the Heather zone where the Gaint Heather trees reach 15 metres in height and are truly magnificent.  At 3,147 metres you find Kalalama Camp which is an alternative to sleeping at Sine camp and has fantastic views of the valleys and across the foothills you see Lake George in Queen Elizabeth National Park. From here you climb up a beautiful mossy ridge before turning off to pass through more heather forests across to 3,515 metres where you turn to descend to an awesome flat valley with many lobelia plants and their beautiful flower stems. From here you climb a short distance to Kyalavula and descend down a magnificent moss-covered ridge to Samalira Camp nestled in a small dip landscape but with fantastic views.

Descend down through the bamboo forests and back into the Afro Montane Forest Zone beaming up birds and primates. Just below Omusita Rest Area you may either continue straight down or branch to the left to slope down to a trail along the Nyamwamba River where the trees and forest are truly beautiful and continue onto the park entrance and back to the basecamp.
