The best place to go for challenging hikes in Uganda is the Rwenzori Mountain National Park. Quite simply, it's tough going but beautiful; rewarding and unspoilt; with the chance to attempt several closely located peaks. The tallest peak is Margerita, which reaches to 5,110 metres on Mount Stanley. The terrain in the park is renowned for being pretty hard work, but if you’re up for getting you boots dirty then it's a great place. Another advantage of hiking in the Rwenzori Mountains is that it's quiet, with hardly any tourist footfall. The main reason for this is that just across the border are the commercially popular sites of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, where the majority of the mountain hiking masses head.
For some Ugandan hiking that is less hard-core, travel to the east and Mount Elgon. This extinct volcano covers approximately 1,864 square miles around its base and summits at 4,321 metres on Wagagai Peak. The hike to the top is not considered tough for a reasonably fit individual. En-route to the summit be sure to stop at Sipi Falls or the hot springs for a refreshing dip or revitalising foot soak!
