The Rwenzori Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Uganda, are a stunning range known for their snow-capped peaks, including Margherita Peak, the highest point at 5,109 meters. Often called the "Mountains of the Moon," they feature diverse ecosystems, from lush montane forests to alpine meadows, supporting unique flora and fauna like the Rwenzori turaco. The range is also a vital water source, feeding rivers and lakes, with glacial landscapes adding to its dramatic beauty.
