4 Days Mount Elgon Hike
OVERVIEW
Our 4 Days offers you a unique climbing expedition to Mt. Elgon, whose several peaks are easily accessible and around the historic caldera of this dormant volcano.
To climb any of the main peaks, aspiring hikers must be in pretty good physical shape, but they do not need specialist gear or a high degree of mountaineering expertise. The Sasa Trail from Budadiri and the Piswa Trail from Kapkwata are two of the most well-liked three-to seven-day treks that lead to the Wagagai summit.
Take a stopover in Jinja, the epicenter of adventure in Uganda. The world’s longest river, the river Nile, its source, Bujagali Falls, Itanda Falls, Jinja Sailing, and the magnificent Sipi Falls in Kapchorwa are just a few of the key sights you will see while exploring the Elgon.
