Rwenzori Mountains National Park (RMNP), which is about 995 sq. km, is located in the four districts of Kasese, Kabarole, Ntoroko and Bundibugyo, which are found in western Uganda. It borders the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the west. The mountains lie between latitudes 00 06’ and 00 46’ North and longitudes 290 47’ and 300 11’ East. The mountain range out of which the park has been gazetted is much larger in size running over a hundred kilometres in the north-south direction and fifty kilometres in the east-west direction.

Over 75% of the range is found in Uganda with the rest falling in the DRC. In the DRC the mountains are part of the Parc National des Virunga (PNV) and are contiguous with RMNP for about 50 km. The mountain range is famous for the Rwenzori Trekking adventures. Book with us a trekking safari to the mountains of the moon.
