埃尔贡山国家公园
For a number of years, a natural feature has grown above the border between Kenya and Uganda. The Bagisu community holds Mount Elgon in utmost reverence, considering it the tangible embodiment of their esteemed progenitor, Masaba. Embark on a journey to ascend this age-old titan and behold the breathtaking panorama of East Africa from its unparalleled summit, situated at an awe-inspiring altitude of 4,321m.
埃尔贡山国家公园简介
It is located on the border of Kenya and Uganda. Mount Elgon National Park derives its name from Mount Elgon, a shield volcano that became dormant over 24 million years ago. With its vast surface area, Mount Elgon holds the distinction of being the largest extinct volcano globally, and its summit reaches an impressive height of 4,321 meters, making it the eighth-highest peak in Africa.
公园总面积1,279平方公里，其中乌干达部分面积1,110平方公里，较小的肯尼亚部分面积169平方公里。
什么时候参观埃尔贡山国家公园
It is advisable to plan your visit to Mount Elgon during the dry seasons of June to August and November to March for better hiking conditions. If you choose to visit in November or December, you will have the opportunity to witness the beautiful wildflowers in full bloom, but it will be during the rainy season; therefore, some of the routes may be accessible, but with slippery roads and some difficulty
On the other hand, the trails of Mount Elgon can be more challenging due to slippery conditions during the wetter months. Regardless of when you decide to visit, you will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views. The slippery roads, pathways, and hiking trails also provide a different feeling of nature in the mountain areas of Uganda.

前往埃尔贡山国家公园
从坎帕拉
The distance between Kampala and Mount Elgon National Park is approximately 235km. Initially, the route takes you along a well-paved road from Kampala to Mbale, a city located in the Eastern Region of Uganda. From there, the road ascends towards Kapchorwa, situated on the north-western side of Mount Elgon. From Mbale city again, the road can also take you to Budadiri district, with an entrance to Mount Elgon National Park
Subsequently, the second part of the journey involves traversing dirt roads that branch off from the Mbale-Kapchorwa road or Budadiri district, leading you to the different trailheads within the park. The distance from Mbale town to the National Park can take approximately 1-2 hours, depending on the speed, since travelling is on rough murram roads
野生动物
Mount Elgon National Park boasts a diverse range of wildlife, with elephants, buffalo, and various small antelope species residing on its lower slopes. The area also has very large numbers of primates, including the black-and-white colobus monkeys, the blue monkeys and other primates in the area, attracting large numbers of tourists from different locations and parts of the world.
公园内茂密的山地森林是黑白疣猴和蓝猴等灵长类动物的家园。
Additionally, Mount Elgon National Park is a habitat for more than 300 bird species, including the Tacazze sunbird and the lammergeier. To birders, this is a very important place to visit; it has quite a number of the most liked birds
当地文化
Mount Elgon National Park accommodates two tribes, namely the Sabiny and the Bagisu. The Sabiny communicate in Sebei, a Nilotic language, while the Bagisu converse in Lugisu, somewhat similar to the Lumasaba language. According to the Bagisu, Mount Elgon represents their esteemed ancestor, Masaba, and they refer to the mountain by his name. Both tribes engage in subsistence farming as their primary means of livelihood.

埃尔贡山
远足径
莎莎步道:
This four-day round trip is the most challenging but shortest trail. It is the original route to Wagagai, the peak of Mount Elgon at 4,321m. Starting in the town of Budadiri in the Eastern Region of Uganda at an altitude of 1,250m, the first day involves a difficult ascent of 1,650m. The trail then takes you through the forest, leading to the Mudangi Cliffs, which require climbing using ladders. After that, there is a 2.5-hour walk through the picturesque bamboo forest. On Day 2, the walk becomes gentler, and you will reach Wagagai on Day 3.
皮斯瓦步道：
作为萨萨步道的替代路线，皮斯瓦步道不那么费力，但更长。 7天内行驶约49公里。步道起始于山北侧的Kapkwata村，海拔2,190m。这条步道的亮点之一是乌干达的壮丽景色
西皮步道：
最长的步道全长 56 公里，大约需要 4 至 6 天才能走完。它始于卡普瓦伊森林探索中心 (Kapkwai Forest Exploration Centre)，距离 西皮瀑布。 这条步道的显着特征之一是穿过以其古老洞穴壁画而闻名的塔图姆洞穴 (Tatum Cave) 的路段。
日间徒步：
For those who prefer shorter hikes, the Forest Exploration Centre has opened three trails ranging from 3- 7 km in length. These trails are ideal for less experienced hikers and travelers who want to experience the beautiful scenery and wildlife of Mount Elgon within a shorter timeframe.
山地自行车
2012年，乌干达野生动物管理局开辟了山地自行车路线。 Sipi River Lodge酒店提供自行车租赁服务。一条持续 1.5 小时的步道从海拔 1,775m 的西皮贸易中心 (Sipi Trading Centre) 一直延伸到卡普乔瓦 (Kapchorwa) 的切马山 (Chema Hill)。
观鸟
Mount Elgon National Park is home to more than 300 bird species and has been designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA). Visitors with an interest in birds should keep an eye out for unique species such as the endangered lammergeier. Additionally, keep a lookout for the African blue flycatcher, the African goshawk, and the cinnamon-chested bee-eater.
