The first 2 days are taking the same route as the 3 day Mount Elgon trekking.

On day 3 the route changes as follows:

DAY 1:

Arrive at Budadiri Gate for the registration, and briefing, and meet with the ranger’s guides, porters, and the cook.

You will then board Boda Boda’s to the starting point in Bumasola village. You will hike through the wall of life, skipping the Sasa River Camp at an elevation of 2900m above sea level, Sasa Patrol Hut to Mude Camp at an elevation of 3500m above sea level for our first night.

This hike takes approximately 7-9 hours, depending on how you find it and your strength level.

DAY 2:

Early in the morning, after breakfast, you will embark on the hike to the summit passing through Jackson pool, Jackson peak, and the view of Jackson table.

The views here are stunning.

Then proceed to Wagagai peak, walking along the caldera rim. It’s 9km going to the peak and 9km returning which totals up to 18km after touring, you will descend to Mude camp or Sasa river camp for the 2nd night.

DAY 3:

After early breakfast, we start from Mude cave camp descending to Tutum cave camp at the elevation of 2667m asl.

From Mude to Tutum it is a distance of 37 km, taking 9-10 hours. At Tutum cave camp you will spend the third night.

DAY 4:

After early morning breakfast you will depart from Tutum cave camp to Kapkwai exploration center at the elevation of 2057m asl for 11 kilometers.

It takes roughly 4 hours to hike. Therefore it’s at the Kapkwai exploration center where the car or Boda Boda will be waiting for you to transfer you to your guesthouse.

This summarizes the 4 days of Mount Elgon Trekking experience with us.
