Mount Elgon National Park

An extinct shield volcano on Uganda's eastern border with Kenya, with one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world — a destination for hikers rather than game drives.

Key Experiences

• Multi-day hiking to Wagagai peak
• Sipi Falls — a popular shorter day-hike
• Caves, hot springs, montane forest and moorland
• Birding and montane flora

Getting There

About 4–5 hours by road from Kampala to the Mbale/Sipi Falls area.
