Mount Elgon National Park – Uganda Mountain Hiking Safari Experience
Mount Elgon National Park, located in eastern Uganda along the border with Kenya, is a captivating destination within Uganda’s national parks, celebrated for its unique volcanic landscapes and rich biodiversity. Spanning approximately 1,279 square kilometers, the park is centered around Mount Elgon, an extinct shield volcano that features one of the largest volcanic craters in the world. The diverse landscapes within the park range from lush montane forests and alpine meadows to rugged cliffs and expansive moorlands.
Mount Elgon’s varied elevations create a multitude of habitats, supporting a wide array of wildlife including elephants, buffaloes, and a range of primate species such as the black-and-white colobus monkey. The park is also a haven for bird enthusiasts, with over 300 bird species recorded, including the endangered lammergeier vulture and the rare Elgonensis. As an integral part of Uganda’s national parks, Mount Elgon offers a variety of adventurous and eco-friendly experiences for visitors.
Traford Safaris Ltd provides expertly guided treks through the park’s scenic trails, including the popular Sasa Trail, which takes hikers to the summit of Mount Elgon, offering panoramic views and a chance to explore the volcanic features. These treks highlight the park’s rich natural heritage and emphasize sustainable tourism practices to minimize environmental impact.
By fostering responsible travel and supporting local conservation initiatives, Traford Safaris Ltd ensures that visitors can enjoy Mount Elgon’s unique landscapes and biodiversity while contributing to the preservation of this remarkable natural area. This commitment aligns with Uganda’s broader goals of maintaining and celebrating its national parks and their extraordinary ecological wealth.
