Rwenzori Trekking to Margherita Peak

"This Rwenzori Trek with Margherita Peak Summit represents true Adventure in the Pearl of Africa. Hiking through six different climatic zones, experiencing the changes in scenery and temperature as well as the daily challenges of the altitude and terrain, you’ll come to realise that no kilometre is the same. Finally, to be rewarded with the view from the top of the 3rd highest peak on the African continent, as part of a team of like-minded individuals, you’ll have a deep feeling of accomplishment which will stay with you long after your safe return home." - Phil, team leader for the trek
