 3 DAYS HIKE TO MT. ELGON – Hiking To Mt. Elgon

ABOUT MT.ELGON – Mount Elgon Hiking Tour

Hiking To Mt. Elgon.  Located in Eastern Uganda, Mount Elgon has the largest caldera in the world. The mountain spans a diameter of 80km and rises over 3000m above sea level. It has over five peaks in both Kenya and Uganda, the highest being Wagagai at an elevation of 4321m above sea level.

Geologists estimate Mount Elgon first erupted over 24 million years ago. Because of that and subsequent eruptions, the mountain created a great landscape on its slopes and now has some of the most unique tourist attraction sites in Uganda, for example the Sipi Falls, Sisiyi Falls, Wanale Ridge, and Mount Elgon National Park among others.
