Mount Napak Hiking & Trekking

Mount Napak Hiking & Trekking

The mountains of Karamoja are an exciting alternative to the more strenuous climbs in East Africa with many of the same attractions, a milder climate, lower elevation and requires no special equipment or technical experience.

Our expeditions are a mix of rich encounters with the Uganda’s highland people, breathtaking views and unique sights along the trails and unique campsites where you can enjoy the sunset, the stars and sunrise over the planes of Karamoja.

Mount Napak Hiking & Trekking

Mount Napak is Karamoja’s third highest mountain and known for it’s steepness and lush vegetation that makes it the toughest mountain to climb in northeast Uganda. Due it’s location bordering the Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve, you’re up for breathtaking panoramic views of the Karamoja planes and distance mountain ranges.

Beyond the rewarding views and walking through the untouched forest, Mount Napak offers a cultural experience. The fertile foothills are home to the Bokora Clan of the Karamojong people. Your local guides will introduce you to several villages along the trail, sharing insights into the lifestyle and customs of the community.

Getting around

The night before the Mount Napak Hiking & Trekking we set camp at the foot of the mountain (1hr drive from Moroto and 2hr drive from Soroti town). The hike is guided by experienced local guides and porters are available on request. Food, snacks, camping gear and water is included.
