What to expect

The once-in-a-lifetime Rwenzori Summit Trek in the Rwenzori Mounain National Park is a stunning and challenging trek that takes between 7 and 8 days to complete.
During this trek we climb all the major peaks, Portal Peaks, Mt. Gessi, Mt. Emin, Margherita Peak, and Mt. Speke.
Very experienced hikers can complete the trek in 6 to 7 days, however for most others we factor in one day of rest to acclimatize to the altitude and finish the trek in 7 to 8 days.
