Awe inspiring is perhaps an understatement when describing the beauty of this world class hiking and mountaineering destination. Described by one enthralled visitor as Heaven’s Garden, it is as though the Gods have hidden this profusion of colour up in the cloud so that only those who dare might reach up and share its secrets.

At 5109 meters above sea level, Mount Stanley is the highest peak on the Rwenzori ranges followed by Alexandria (5083m), Speke (4890m), Emin (4791m) and Gessi (4715m). What a glorious wonder it is to witness these icy, snow capped peaks on the Equator of Tropical Africa.
