After having your breakfast, get to Kilembe at 1450m to have a briefing with your guides on how to start the trip. You will hike through the Afro-montane forest zone’s forests. For around 6 kilometers, there is a steady ascent before passing through a steep part that leads to Sine Camp.
The hike is a fantastic way to explore some of the Rwenzoris’ vegetation and fauna, including Colobus monkeys. Over the course of today, you will travel roughly 9.5 km in total.

Sine camp.

Reach Kalalaama camp at 3,134 meters by ascending through the Bamboo zone. After a little break, proceed through a dense forest covered in hanging mosses until you come to a lobelia garden. To reach Samalira camp, which is at 3,174 meters, descend through a mossy ridge. The climb today traverses some difficult terrain and covers around 4 miles in 5 to 6 hours.

Accommodation.

Samalira camp.

Enjoy your morning tea and start descending through the densely forested ridge where many monkeys, including black and white colobus moneys, live, descend from Samalira Camp back through the Bamboo zone. Keep descending to base camp. The hike today is 10.8 kilometers long and takes 6-7 hours to complete.
