Mahoma Trail

Mahoma Trail is a scenic hiking route located in the lower slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains, often starting near Kilembe in western Uganda. This trail offers a guided nature experience through lush rainforest, diverse vegetation zones, and mountainous landscapes, eventually leading toward Lake Mahoma or viewpoints such as Mahoma Falls. Travellers can enjoy activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife spotting, with opportunities to see unique species, including endemic birds, mammals, and reptiles, such as the three-horned chameleon. Along the way, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of valleys and rivers, including the Mubuku River, making it an ideal option for both short day hikes and multi-day trekking in one of Africa’s most biodiverse mountain regions.
