Trekking in Uganda: Mount Elgon – day 3 of 4 > Summit Day ?
Today I get to lead the tour of tours of this two-week trek around and on extinct volcanoes in Uganda. It will be a teamwork with National Park ranger Maddy.
Half past six breakfast and around half past seven, after the yoga sun salutation, we start the nine hundred meters of altitude to Wagagai, with 4,321 meters the highest of five peaks that volcano Mount Elgon has around an enormous wide crater.
We take a break at Jackson Pool. Then follows the climb to the caldera crater rim. We follow the crater rim for a while until just before the final climb. Maddy and I find a place out of the wind behind a rock wall where we have a tea party ?
The climb to the top is beautiful. One is chatting, the other is in thought. At the top we are euphoric: we sing Wa-ga-gai, hug each other and take pictures and peer through my binoculars.
Back at Jackson Pool a hot lunch is waiting for us. Blessed! The weather changed. Back towards our tent camp we hear thunder and a shower of rain falls. It completes the whole picture. What a nice and beautiful day. Thank you Maaike, Peggy, Nelleke, Anja, Maddy, Joël and Daniel! ?
