The park stretches across roughly 1,000 square kilometers, protecting one of Africa’s most dramatic high-altitude landscapes. This remarkable park sits within the rugged Rwenzori range, a chain of mountains that includes Margherita Peak—Africa’s third-highest summit—rising to an impressive 5,109 meters. As you move through this extraordinary region, you encounter a world shaped by towering ridges, deep valleys, and a climate that shifts from misty forests to alpine meadows.

The park’s lakes shimmer between steep slopes, while ancient glaciers crown the highest peaks and feed countless rivers winding through the dense vegetation below. Cascading waterfalls create breathtaking scenes around nearly every corner, adding to the sense of untouched wilderness. Together, these features form one of the most stunning alpine environments anywhere on the continent, making this park a destination for adventurers who crave both challenge and beauty in equal measure.
