Hiking

Hiking opens up a side of Africa that game drives simply can't reach, taking you on foot into the hills, forests and volcanic landscapes for a slower, more immersive adventure. Around Lake Bunyonyi, gentle to moderate trails wind through the steep, terraced hillsides that cradle the lake, rewarding walkers with sweeping views over its island-dotted waters and a genuine taste of rural Ugandan life, past farms, villages and welcoming local communities. Elsewhere our destinations offer hikes to suit every level, from the dramatic crater-rim trails of Mount Bisoke in Rwanda and the waterfall walks of Sipi Falls on the slopes of Mount Elgon, to the challenging ascents of the Rwenzori "Mountains of the Moon" and the ultimate summit of Kilimanjaro. Whether it's a relaxed afternoon ramble or a multi-day mountain expedition, hiking brings you closer to the landscapes, the birdlife and the small details of the wild, and often to some of the most memorable views of your entire journey.
