Rwenzori Trekking Experts say that the driest and warmest weather for climbing the Rwenzoris is between the middle of March and the end of October. The best time to go mountain climbing is during these three months. The best times to visit Uganda for a day excursion to view primates are around these times as well.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Rwenzori Mountains National Park borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is situated in southwestern Uganda. Its varied species and breathtaking landscapes have made it famous. The gazetted park, which has been there since 1991, encompasses 996 square kilometres and is the site of Margherita mountain, the third-highest mountain in Africa at 5,109 meters. The park’s diverse ecosystems, which include alpine meadows, glaciers, and verdant montane forests, are home to a wide variety of wildlife. As the geographical and cultural origins of the Nile River, the Rwenzori Mountains (often called the “Mountains of the Moon”) hold great historical and cultural importance.
