The best mountain national park in East Africa! Its much less crowded compare to Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Kenya, the trees are available up to 3800 meters, the route is good and very well marked. You can sleep in huts or tents and telephone coverage is more or less OK. There are the last glaciers in Africa which you need to see before it's melted due to the global warming. I would like to come again to this beautiful mountains and jungles!

A dream come true. A challenge for so long sought and a redemption my heart cherished forever. Beautiful climate, amazing sights, experiential walkways and the Mystical challenge I'd wish to do every year. I enjoyed drinking water from a cold stream like a real animal. And carried a precious stone from the waters to keep by my bed reminding me of the beautiful memory...

It is a beautiful place a must visit. It has tropic rainforest at 1760 meters above sea level with rivers like mubuku, mahoma, and nyamqamba. We did a bit of mountain climbing up to the first resting point at mahoma. It was a nice experience and exciting.
