Hiking the Giant Volcanoes of Uganda
)

)
Uganda has plenty of mountains that have a lot of potential for hiking, yet the numbers of tourists exploring them is limited, compared to the number of visitors on, for example, Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya. Mountains in Uganda include the Rwenzori Mountains, the Virungas, Mt. Elgon and the mountains of Karamoja (Mt. Moroto, Mt. Napak and Mt. Kadam). The activities on each of these mountains are in need of further professionalization. The trails are underdeveloped or non-existent and the guides, porters and supporting staff are often underskilled. This is a pity, as these mountains tend to be located in relatively poor regions of the country and a booming hiking business may provide plenty of business and employment opportunities for the local communities.
