Through cloud forest and glacier — a highland trek to Africa’s hidden snow-capped crown.
Elevation begins not with ascent, but with intention. Begin in Entebbe, where the lake holds its calm, then head west to Ibanda — gateway to the Rwenzoris, where the peaks rise behind cloud like a secret kept in sky.
The trail begins in forest — damp, green, alive. Colobus monkeys leap above the canopy. Water slips through moss and root. Each step upward is a shift: bamboo thickens, air thins, light sharpens. By John Matte Hut, the world feels hushed and close.
Higher still, through alpine bog and giant lobelia, you reach the shadow of Mount Stanley. Elena Hut clings to the mountainside beneath its glacier crown. Then, before dawn — the summit push. Mt. Margherita emerges in ice and stone. Breath becomes intention. At 5,109 metres, you meet the edge of Africa’s hidden snow.
Descent brings silence of a different kind — ridgelines, river valleys, and the rhythm of return.
This is where altitude becomes awe, and the climb becomes clarity.
