Travel Itinerary
Arrive at Entebbe International Airport, where a Nandi Adventures representative will warmly welcome you. Transfer to your boutique lakeside accommodation near Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake. Depending on your arrival time, explore Entebbe’s botanical gardens or simply relax and recover from your journey.
Depart early for the scenic 6–7-hour drive west to Kasese, gateway to the Rwenzori Mountains National Park. Known as the Mountains of the Moon, the Rwenzoris rise dramatically from the Rift Valley, revealing glaciers, waterfalls, and cloud forests. Check in at your lodge, rest, and prepare for tomorrow’s trek.
After breakfast, transfer to the Trekkers Hostel at the trailhead. Following a safety briefing, begin your ascent through the lush Afro-montane forest to Sine Camp (2,596 m). Hike among giant ferns, moss-draped trees, and endemic birdlife before enjoying a warm dinner and overnight in the heart of the mountains.
Climb higher through the bamboo zone to Mutinda Camp (3,588 m). The trail offers breathtaking views of cascading waterfalls and towering heather trees.
Optional: Hike up to the Mutinda Lookout (3,975 m) for sweeping views of Kasese town and Lake George—a perfect acclimatization trek.
