The Second Day: Climbing up to the Giant Tree Heathers

Again if you want to view the photos as a slide show .... click the link below

Rwenzori Slideshow


Ready to leave Kalonge Hut

Down to the Nyamwamba stream



Stream crossings


Climbing steeply out of the valley

The undergrowth thins out


Tough uphills ...

Hotel des Assetre - an old shrine site to ask for a successful climb. Now banned by the government.

Leopard scat

Grace and the AK47 make friends

Still no rain ...

Into the giant tree heathers ...


And the tangled mosses ...

Caught by an hour or so of light rain ...

Alex, our Congolese Guide


Incredible pastel colours all round

Steep hills and false summits ..

See the others halfway up?

The clouds rolled in but the views inbetween were beautiful











The porters at Mahangu Hut. They preferred to sit outside around a fire.
