点评:Myself and a team of around 12 others hiked Mount Elgon to raise money for a Ugandan charity called SALVE International. We did it with the Uganda Wildlife Authority, and had a team of porters, who were all absolutely fantastic!!!! The guides (Alex and Karim) were so incredibly knowledgeable and considerate of our abilities and pace we needed to walk at. We did 9km the first day and approximately 20km for the following 4days. On the fourth day we reached the summit and it was then a steep walk down. It's incredible going through the different ecological zones and it's a great challenge whilst not being so intense that you need to feel like an athlete to manage it. Some of our team had a bit of altitude sickness at the top but I can't say this really affected me. Definitely recommend this to everyone.
