#ConquerRwenzoriMountain- Two days to go

We are just forty eight hours away to beginning the journey to western Uganda to start the climb of this treacherous wonder of the world.
Towering at 5109m (over 5 kilometers) towards the sky, Mt. Stanely/ Margherita Peak is the highest point on this treacherous mountain. And that is where yours truly will be in a little under a week. It is getting exciting and chilly, right here. This promises to be an adventue of a lifetime. But lets not spoil it, lets see what is in store.

It is a real equatorial chill at 4000m (4 kilometres). But David is ready for the test and rumble. On this blog, expect live pictures of some of the most beautfiul terrains on earth, the climb itself, debiltating weather.
And ofcourse the willdlife. The park hosts 70 different mammals and 217 bird species.

#ConquerRwenzoriMountain

Karibuni to a new year!
What a great way to start the new year! One with lots of promise...
Myself and a few friends will be scaling to the very peak of Africa's most treacherous mountain in a few days. High tempo preparations are underway to enable us successfully peak the Rwenzori Mountains. And David's RedTravel will will be sharing every bit of it here and on other platforms.
Detailed pictures can also be found at Africa Uzuri Safaris.

I will also be sharing what makes the Rwenzori Mountains a unique mountain in the world. Like this animal- the three horned charmeloeone that bursts its tummy after giving birth. It is endemnic to this region.

And a very good reason on why you should plan on exploring the Rwenzori Mountains and other places in our beautiful country.
