The route traverses through the green | hills of Bwindi and Kisoro, passes through several National Parks that are home to extraordinary wildlife, crosses the mighty river Nile and Lake Victoria, climbs the slopes of Mount Elgon and goes deep into Karamoja where the authentic nomadic culture is still present. |
