Africa’s highest mountain range, the 5100 metre Rwenzori (Mountains of the Moon) is the snowy source of the Nile. The high Rwenzori is a montane wonderland, the trails to the snow peaks following glacier covered valleys lied with fantastically coloured mosses and rare Afro-alpine plants that include giant forms of lobelias, heathers and groundsels. Expeditions use a chain, basic huts and campsites to ascend the mountain from Kilembe and Nyakalengija.
