If you’re looking for some adventure, consider climbing Mount Speke in the Rwenzori Mountains National Park in Uganda! It’s the second tallest mountain after Mount Stanley and it’s always recommended to join the two peaks together to reach the highest point of the Rwenzori Mountains with Rwenzori Expeditions. Mt. Speke is 16,000 feet tall and forms a triangle with Baker and Stanley, surrounding the upper Bujuku Valley.
John Hanning Speke was the one who gave Mount Speke its name after exploring Central Africa. It’s part of the Rwenzori Mountains and is made up of lots of peaks, with Johnson standing at 4834 m., Vittorio Emanuele at 4890 m. and Ensonga at 4865 m.

Once you’ve reached the top, you can take the Southwest ridge up to the summit. It used to be a lot of snow, but now you can make the climb from the hut in just your sneakers, as long as the mud isn’t too deep. The glaciers that used to be on the north side of Mt. Speke have melted away, leaving only a remnant of the Speke Glacier on the South, and a few smaller chunks of ice near Ensonga Peak.
