Ruboni Community Camp & Bakonzo Cultural Trails
Ruboni
A community camp next to the national park entrance, where Bakonzo mountain guides lead walks through villages, coffee fields, and foothill forest to experience the culture of the mountain people.
The Ruboni Community Camp is located at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains near Nyakalengija. It is an eco-lodge run by local Bakonzo people, and its income goes to community projects. The camp offers half-day or full-day village cultural walks, visits to traditional medicine and blacksmith workshops, Bakonzo singing and dancing, and birdwatching and waterfall hikes into the foothill forest. It can also serve as a base before and after a climb. It is about 22 km from Kasese and can be reached by taxi or motorcycle taxi.
