Trekking in Uganda: Mount Elgon – day 4 of 4; the descent ?
Today we descend from Mude Cave Camp (3,500m) to the mountain village of Bumasola (1,770m). From there, boda bodas (mopeds) will take us to the mountain village of Budadiri (1,250 m) where we check out Mount Elgon National Park.
One more time we get up early and clean up our tent camp. Maaike calls together the porters, cook and rangers of Juma Chebet’s team @elgon_trekk. She expresses our thanks and gives everyone a well-deserved tip. Then: descend! ?
It is a bright sunny morning. On the descent on Sasa-Trail we pass Sasa River Camp (2,900m) and just above Bumasola is a steep rocky cliff passage. Today it has steel stairs, but not before and then she called the passage ‘the wall of death…’
At the bottom of the rock cliff passage are thousands of arable fields. Coffee trees with red ripe fruits, banana trees and fields of Irish potatoes, maize and onions. In between, mud huts, cattle and playing children who seek contact with us. Overwhelmingly beautiful.
Sitting on the back of one of the boda boda mopeds, it feels to me as if ‘the film’ of two weeks of Uganda has started the credits. The journey with all the impressions pass by like slides as I shake back and forth driving on the gravel roads. I would love to come back here again ?
Granite Rock ‘Ruoth’ in Abim offers Uganda’s best Climbing – The Ruth rock nicknamed ‘Chief’, is called one of Uganda’s most impressive rock features with some of the best climbing found in Uganda. Though climbed by only a few frontiers with the first found record in 1957.
Karamoja Safari featured in the Dutch and Belgium magazine called Columbus Travel Magazine. The magazine highlights a 20 pages travel report from climbing worlds Mt Elgon (4321m), an authentic cultural experience in Karamojaland and ending with an off the beaten path Wildlife Safari in Kidepo Valley National Park!
Kara-Tunga gave a Digital Marketing Workshop to 25 Ugandan Tourism Startups as part of their Tourism Entrepreneurs Training facilitated by the Karamoja Tourism Academy and utilising the UKARIMU Academy curriculum.
