Here you will enjoy the magnificent views over the Rwenzori foothills and Kasese town 2,160 meters below.

Day 2: The second day you hike to Mahoma Lake the forest gives way to along narrow moss covered ridge up to 3,515 meters through an incredibly beautiful forest of giant heather trees covered in layers of bright green moss. You will follow the footprints of mountain Elephants through the bamboo and heather forest and by chance watch them having a drink at the hot spring. The ridge will lead you to the Rukenga valley where you will see the helichrysum -everlasting flowers, carex, the mimulopssis eliotti flowers and the giant lobelia. You then cross to Mahoma lake Camp for the night. From Mahoma lake if the sky is clear you will be able to see Mt.Baker, Mt.Stanley and the Portal Peaks.
