TOORO: A kingdom of mountains, forests and royal memory
For days, Oyo left the comfort of the palace and joined guides and climbers on the arduous ascent. The climb drew attention not only to the majesty of the Rwenzori, but also to their importance as a tourism and conservation asset. Following the death of the beloved monarch on August 27, the mountain carries another significance. For adventure seekers who want to follow the trail he once walked, Margherita Peak offers the challenge of experiencing the Rwenzori for themselves.
