Key among these improvements is “the construction of a bridge across the crevasse in the Margherita glacier,” UWA said, noting that the bridge, along with additional climbing ropes installed in collaboration with partners in the park, will enable safe passage through the challenging sections of the trail.

“With these safety measures now in place, hiking to Margherita Peak can safely resume,”said UWA.

The Authority expressed confidence that the new enhancements will provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for all visitors seeking to summit one of Africa’s most iconic peaks.

“We continue to encourage visitors to explore not only Margherita Peak but also the other stunning peaks within Rwenzori Mountains National Park, including Mount Speke, Mount Baker, and Cheptegei Peak on the Stanley Range. Each of the routes to these peaks offers a unique adventure, showcasing the breathtaking beauty and diversity of the Rwenzori Mountains.”

UWA will maintain close monitoring of the hiking routes to ensure ongoing safety and will provide updates as needed.
