This magnificent and remote mountain on the borders of Uganda and Kenya offers superb high altitude walking. The 30 km. caldera rim is composed of several rugged mountains over 4000m high. An ascent by the Piswa Route from the north combined with a descent via the Sasa Route to the west offers one of the best long trips (about 5 days walking). Access to the Caldera from the Kenyan side is more difficult for organised groups but the famous elephant-carved Kitum and other caves are an interesting feature in the game rich National Park found on this side of the mountain. |
