Since 1941, the mountainous territory has been protected as a forest reserve, in 1991 it was formed national park. In 1994, the park was included in the list world heritage UNESCO. The Rwenzori Mountains were occupied by rebels from 1997 to 2001. Due to lack of resources and general instability, the national park was on the list of World Heritage Sites under threat of destruction from 1999 to 2004.

Geography

Rwenzori Mountains National Park is located in southwestern Uganda near the border with Democratic Republic Congo. On the territory of the DRC there is a border national park, which also has the status of a World Heritage Site. Rwenzori Mountains is located in the districts of Bundibugyo, Cabarole and Kasese, 25 km from the small town of Kasese. The size of the park is 120 by 48 km; 70% of its territory (996 km²) is located above 2500 m.

The park includes the center and the eastern half of the glaciated Rwenzori Mountains, which are higher than the Alps. The snow-capped peaks of Rwenzori rise above the dry equatorial valleys. Along with the third highest peak in Africa, Peak Margherita (5109 m), the fourth and fifth highest peaks of the African continent - Mount Speke and Mount Baker - are located in the park. Snowfields and glaciers with waterfalls make the national park one of the most beautiful places in Africa.

Flora and fauna

The park is home to many endemics and several endangered species, and has a high biodiversity of plants and trees, including giant tree heather. There are 5 high-altitude zones in the park, which are inhabited by 89 species of birds, 15 species of butterflies and 4 species of primates. The various zones of the park are inhabited by: forest elephant, chimpanzee, hyraxes, black and white colobus, bearded monkey, duikers and ruwensor turaco.

Tourism

The park is managed by the state agency "National Parks of Uganda", the entrance to the park is the city of Kasese, located 437 km west of the country's capital city. There are hotels in Kasese, camping is allowed in the park. Among the interesting hiking and climbing routes with unusual views, some of which are also equipped with overnight huts, the most popular is the seven-day hike around the park.

In dense and impenetrable jungle In Africa, there are mysterious and inaccessible mountains in which the mistress of the night, the Moon, lives. Here she is born and dies. Mountains cannot be seen, there is no sun. Only a few times a year, on a full moon, people can admire their majestic snow-white peaks, which is why they are called the Lunar Mountains ...

This is what is said about these mountains in an African legend that my guide told me. The mention of them is still in Ptolemy, who wrote about the existence in the center of Africa of the mysterious Moon Mountains, giving rise to the great Nile. But it took two thousand years to confirm this assumption. Indeed, the river flowing from the Lunar Mountains Semliki is one of the main sources of the White Nile.

Adventurers were looking for them to take possession of the famous mines of King Solomon, lurking here in the caves. Several well-organized expeditions failed. And this is not surprising: the Lunar Mountains are always covered with clouds, because their other name is Ruwenzori, which in the language of the Bakonjo tribe living here means “rainmaker”.

Until 1888, not a single European had seen these mountains. Henry Morton Stanley passed quite close twice, but only on the third attempt did he see them. In his honor high mountain Rwenzori was named Mount Stanley. Only in the 20th century did an Italian expedition led by the Duke of Abruzzi manage to draw up the first map of these places. Himself high peak the duke gave the name Margherita (Margherita), in honor of the Queen of Savoy. Our UN helicopter pilots flying from Uganda to the Congo affectionately call the mountain "Daisy".

The Lunar Mountains are indeed located on the equator, between the lakes of Edward and Albert, on the border between Uganda and Congo (Zaire). Here is the largest glaciation in Africa, and the Daisy (5109 m) on the entire continent is second in height only to the lonely mountains of Kilimanjaro and Kenya of volcanic origin.

According to some reports, the first Russians appeared on Rwenzori only in 2005.
