Introduction:

Explore the Rwenzori Mountains and Queen Elizabeth wildlife safaris on the same short trip of western Uganda. never before has it ever been possible to climb the Rwenzori mountains, and do several safari activities in queen Elizabeth national park in just 2-3 days.

To be reminded, Rwenzori is Uganda’s highest mountain, Africa’s third tallest mountain, and holding permanent glacier at the equator. The mountain has global recognition as a world heritage site by UNESCO, a Ramsar site and a National park by the Ugandan government.
