                          RWENZORI MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK                    (DISTANCE FROM KAMPALA= 400KM) OVERVIEW As early as 150AD, Claudius Ptomely   wrote of a snow capped mountain range deep in the heart of Africa which he claimed was the source of the world’s longest river, The Nile. He called it “ Mountains of the Moon .” Indeed, over the centuries, mountaineers who later explored Ptolemy’s mountains found the high Rwenzori glaciers and snow peaks whose melt waters certainly represent the highest springs of the Nile.
