Introducing Mount Elgon National Park
Mt Elgon is the affordable alternative to the Rwenzoris, offering challenging but accessible wilderness trekking and wild scenery. The national park encompasses much of Mt Elgon, which has one of the largest surface areas (80km by 50km) of any extinct volcano in the world, and runs right up to the Kenyan border. Wagagai is the park’s highest peak at 4321m.
