Rwenzori Mountains National Park provides a range of accommodations for global travelers, offering comfort before and after treks in this rugged Ugandan wilderness. Centered around trailheads like Nyakalengija and nearby towns like Kasese, options cater to luxury seekers, mid-range adventurers, and budget explorers.
For upscale stays, Equator Snow Lodge near Nyakalengija features cozy stone cottages with fireplaces, en-suite bathrooms, and mountain views, with trek arrangements available. In Kasese, Hotel Margherita offers modern rooms, a pool, and dining, a 1-hour drive from the park, ideal for pre- or post-climb relaxation.
Mid-range options include Ruboni Community Camp, near the trailhead, with simple bandas and stunning valley vistas. Shared facilities and home-cooked meals create a communal vibe, supporting local livelihoods. Budget travelers can opt for Rwenzori Basecamp Guesthouse in Ibanda village, offering basic rooms or camping with easy access to Nyakalengija.
On multi-day treks, rustic mountain huts (Elena, Mutinda, etc.) provide bunk beds and shared kitchens, included in permit fees, though climbers bring sleeping bags and food. Booking accommodations early is key, especially in dry seasons (June-August and December-February), ensuring a restful base for Rwenzori’s alpine adventures.
