Overview
Our crater lakes day tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Fort Portal at 9:00AM. We first drive 11km to our first crater lake, Lake Nkuruba. There, we’ll hopefully spot four types of monkeys, including the Black and White Colobus, Red Monkeys, Vervet Monkeys and Red-Tailed monkeys. We’ll descend through a forest to the crater lake below, and then begin a long ascent to the “Top of the World” where (on a clear day) we will have a view of three crater lakes, Kibale National Park, the Rwenzori lower ranges, Queen Elizabeth National Park, as well as Fort Portal City Centre. From the “Top of the World” we’ll travel to the south of Fort Portal where we will visit more crater lakes and end with a steep descent to Mahoma Waterfalls, fed by the First Glacier Lake in the Rwenzori Mountains. It is possible to swim in some of the crater lakes. (Approximate trip length: ~6-7 hours).
