6-Day Mount Elgon Full Summit Trek

6 Days Mount Elgon National Park, Uganda Serengeti Wildlife Safari 5.0/5 from 9 reviews

Overview

A full 6-day summit trek to Wagagai Peak, Mount Elgon's highest point, going beyond the Sipi Falls day-hikes into the mountain's caldera - one of the largest in the world by surface area.

This is the complete Mount Elgon experience, distinct from a short waterfall hike - a multi-day trek up an extinct shield volcano to its vast caldera, passing through montane forest, bamboo zones and afro-alpine moorland before reaching Wagagai Peak.
