Mesmerising...

Imagine an ancient mountain, a volcano that has been standing solitary and silent for millenia, its base one of the largest in the world, its springs feeding numerous rivers and waterfalls, its rich soil nourishing communities across two countries and where you can wander the uncrowded trails to its summit at over four thousand meters (or fourteen thousand feet).

Mount Elgon is a bit of a secret. Its mesmerising beauty and the unhurried tempo of the surrounding communities make this region an ideal place to relax, breathe in plenty of fresh air and be refreshed.

Find out more about the mountain, where to hike, where to stay, trekking information, a bit of history, communities that live on and around the mountain and much more.

We focus on the part of the mountain that falls inside Uganda as this is what we know a bit about. This website is a labour of love, and not an official website.
