Getting snowed on in Uganda and using crampons to climb up an equatorial glacier was an epic experience. We were well looked after with knowledgable guides (who spotted chameleons to show us!), a chef to keep us well fed and porters doing the hard work to make our experience much more enjoyable. We would highly recommend it, just make sure your fitness is up to it, don’t rush up and risk altitude sickness and make sure you’ve packed all of your warm gear.

6 Days Climbing.
Weismans peak in
Rwenzori Mountains
:Trek Rwenzori
The 6 Days Weisman Peak trek takes Mountain Trekking along Mountain Rwenzori in Uganda located in the Western Part of Uganda.
Weismann Peak Weismann Peak is a sub- 5,000m trekking peak accessible via the Kilembe Trail. We offer it as a moderate trek in contrast to the demanding peaks of Mt Stanley and Baker
There is no glacier on Weismann and no need for ropes or technical equipment, except in very poor conditions. On a clear day, the view from the top of Weismann to the Kachope Lakes below and to Mts Stanley and Baker in the distance is marvellous.
The route to Weismann Peak fromn Kilembe and back takes 6 days. See our Weismann Peak climb itinerary. Weismann Peak can be climbed en route to Margherita/Baker allow an extra day.
Though more approachable than Margherita Peak and Mt Baker, the challenging nature of the Rwenzoris and the high levels of rainfalls mean that many will still find Weismann to be a very demanding trek, both during summit night and during the walk-in.

Margherita Peak which stands at 5109m on Mount Stanley in the Rwenzori mountains, ranks 3rd highest in Africa, and runs from the middle of Lake Albert towards the North, and Lake Edward to the south on the Congo-Uganda border. This summit, climbable between 6 to 8 days is the third highest in Africa following Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Margherita Peak which stands at 5109m on Mount Stanley in the Rwenzori mountains, ranks 3rd highest in Africa, and runs from the middle of Lake Albert towards the North, and Lake Edward to the south on the Congo-Uganda border. This summit, climbable between 6 to 8 days is the third highest in Africa following Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount .
This peak was first climbed by an excursion headed by Luigi Amedeo Abruzzi in 1906 the Duke of Abruzzi, J. Petigax, C. Ollier, as well as J. Brocherel. and was named after Queen Margherita of Italy.

The margherita peak is the forerunner of the high-altitude Rwenzori loop that starts from the rich forests at the edge, before rising high beyond the clouds towards Margherita’s glacial summit.

Set beyond Africa’s immense ice layer, the hike continues up exceeding the Margherita Glacier, towards the rock scramble to Mount Stanley peak – Africa’s 3rd highest summit – in the Rwenzori ranges and hence the highest peak in Uganda.

The frequently used trail, that traverses via Elena Hut, is the same as the one that was used by pioneers long ago. Due to gradual ice melting over the past decades as a result of global warming, the glaciers in the Rwenzori mountains are rapidly recoiling, hence worth visiting.

Elena Hut (4.563 m)

This hut is the last point before climbing the Stanley plateau. It is located on a rocky area of Mount Stanley at an altitude of 4.563 m. The hut is quite small and does not offer much comforts, considering the temperature and the location. It is used mainly as the staging post for ascending Mount Stanley. It overlooks directly Mount Baker and Mount Speke, though it is often submerged by the fog.

https://www.rwenzorimountaineeringservice.com/guide/cost-of-rwenzori-trekking.html
The cost of a trek depends on how long you are spending in the mountains, and on how many people you are travelling with. Generally speaking, the Rwenzoris represent exceptional value for money - the range is incredible, routes diverse, challenging, and unique in Central Africa.
Compared to popular treks like Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzoris are a fraction of the price, and - in our opinion - no less impressive.
If 2 people are travelling together, the price of a trek ranges from ~$315 USD per person for a 3-day trek, to ~$2,000 per person for a 10-day trek. Per person prices decrease slightly when you have a group of 3 or more.
