Thanks, it was amazing!

Thanks Jenny!

One of the most beautiful hikes ever!

And perhaps the most beautiful in all of Africa.

Thanks Jorg, I will look for your video. It is such an amazing place!

There are basic toilets-latrines at each camp. I booked with rwenzoritrekking.com. They seem to be the most popular and are well organized, I'd highly recommend them. There are other options, but I don't know the names off hand. I was traveling solo, but grouped up with 7 other trekkers. We had a crew of about 50 people including 4 guides, and several porters and cooks. You can pay extra to have a porter carry your pack, and it's well worth it. The mountains are a long drive from Kampala, but you can arrange private transport or just take a bus (link.co.ug) from Kampala to Kasese. Then from Kasese take a taxi or jump on a boda-boda (motorbike taxi). I took the bus option and it was easy. No safety issues. I go to Uganda yearly and find it to be quite safe other than some reckless drivers on the road. I brought my own equipment except for the rubber boots and crampons which they provided. If you prefer, you can buy a pair of those rubber boots while in Uganda. I think we had to wear them for over 50% of the trek and I was surprised that they weren't too bad. As for tipping, I'd recommending tipping as much as you can afford. People are desperate for work and income.

@@kawamark Much appreciate the reply, especially the transport link. (I am the local bus-taking type.) Your vid is really super. What brings you to Uganda year after year?

@@globalgourmand Thanks! Years ago when backpacking across Africa, I fell in love with Uganda and stayed for a while, made lots of friends and keep coming back.
