Uganda Attractions and Sight Seeing




Ruwenzori Mountains and Kibale Forest National Park

The mist-covered Ruwenzori Mountains offer some of the most challenging trekking in East Africa. The mountain range stretches for about 100km (62mi) and is one of Uganda's most illustrious national parks. At its centre are several permanently snow and glacier-covered mountains; the highest is Mt Stanley, in the middle of the park, at 5109m (16,760ft).
Fort Portal, a green, pleasant and quiet town at the north-eastern end of the Ruwenzori Mountains, is the centre of a verdant tea-growing area. It's also the base from which to explore the Kibale Forest National Park, 30km (19mi) to the south-east. The park is famous for its chimpanzees, and is said to have the highest density of primates in the world. It's also home to baboon, red and white colobus monkey, and larger mammals such as bushbuck, sitatunga, duiker, civet, buffalo and elephant.
