The Rwenzori Mountains, also referred to as the ‘mounatins of the moon’, are a small by very high (5109meters/ 16761) mountain range between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, are home to many endemic species, both plants and animals and a high biodiversity in general because of the dense packing of different vegetation types. A very challenging, and incredibly rewarding loop hike of several days leads through 5 different vegetation zones, including the giant heather zone with 15 meter/ 45 feet heather trees, that can be seen here in the foreground.
