Kwafrika Travel brings you through a 9 Days Congo Rwenzori Mountains Hiking. In this trek up the mountains, trekkers reach the Africa’s third highest peak, the Margherita Peak. Margherita Peak is located at 5109 m of altitude, the conditions at that altitude are mostly chilly, with the peaks covered in glaciers on many occasions. As you trek up the mountains, the flora is diverse with trees and valleys of ferns.
