Trekking in Uganda: Climbing Mount Kadam Volcano – Day 1
From the village of Nakapiripirit, the five of us and a group of thirteen porters, cooks and Ugandan guides started our 3-day trek to the top of volcano Mount Kadam (3,063m).
Bodah bodahs (moped taxis) drop us off at the foot of the volcano. We find a way through the rainforest, densely overgrown at the end of the wet season. What an experience!
