Mount Elgon Climbing Tour Safari:-Mount Elgon is an extinct volcano with the largest surface area in the world being 50 by 80 kilometers and has an enormous crater which covers 40 kilometers at the top of the mountain. The land around Mt.Elgon is highly fertile and is known for cultivating excellent quality coffee. Mount Elgon Climbing Tour Safari will take the Sipi Trail which will last for 5 days 4 nights. Mount Elgon is a prime trekking mountain in East Africa. The Mountain is a huge volcano with the largest crater of the major peaks in Africa. It has one of the largest caldera in the world.
Mount Elgon Climbing Tour Safari is less crowded than Kilimanjaro, just as spectacular, and since there are less people on the slopes, you have a much greater chance of spotting wildlife. There are several waterfalls on the slopes, and there are even hot springs to soak in inside the crater! Climbing the mountain is an experience not soon forgotten.
Mount Elgon Climbing Tour Safari peak can be climbed from the Uganda or Kenya sides, but as of late, the best route is from Uganda, even though it is a longer walk. I know only the Uganda side of the mountain, and thus this will be the side mostly described.
To get to the trailhead, make your way by bus to Tororo and then Mbale. From Mbale catch a “matatu” (mini-bus) to Budadiri. You must arrange everything for the climb (permits, porters, and a guide) in the national park service station in Budadiri.
Attractions along the route include a good chance of seeing Columbus and Blue Monkeys, as well as other wildlife, and side trips to waterfalls and hot springs.
