Upcoming Events
Mountains of the Moon
Rwenzori is a wonderland of glacier-carved valleys filled with pristine afro montane forests, colourfull mosses and giant forms of lobelias, groundsels and heathers. The mist-shrouded peaks of the Mountains of the Moon provide a stunning backdrop to this magnificent park, located on Uganda’s western border.
Here is the third highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Magherita, which rises to 5,109 metres above sea level. This is Uganda's most dramatic and scenic region. Between Lake Albert in the North and Lake George in the South, the terrain rises above the plains of the Semiliki Valley to the snow capped summits.
HISTORY
The first European to see Rwenzori was Henry M. Stanley in 1876. The most important year of exploration of the range is 1906 when Prince Luigi di Savoia mounted a powerful expedition with photographers, biologists and geologists.
WEATHER AND CLIMATE
The weather in Rwenzori is affected by ITCZ, NE monsoon and SE monsoon. It brings two rainy seasons to the region: mid- March to May and September to mid-December. Railfall reach a maximum between 2000 and 3000m.
FLORA AND FAUNA
The afro-alpine gigantism is the need to adapt to the great diurnal temeperature variation and lack of seasons. Large animals are rare but elephants and bufallo are seen in the forest belt. Leopard often wander up to 4000m.
GEOLOGY AND GLACIOLOGY
The range was 10 mill. years ago a part of a great plain extending from Uganda to the Atrlantic. It has been through sevral periods of glaciation, and at present the glaciers are retreating rapidly.
