Questions before you commit
How fit should I be?
Good hiking fitness is important, and route choice should match your experience. We would rather be honest than oversell the mountain.
Can I combine gorillas and Rwenzori?
Yes. The Summit Trail is built around that combination.
When is the best season?
Drier months are preferred, though mountain weather remains variable.
Do I need technical gear?
For higher routes and Margherita, gear planning matters. We review that early.
