3 Days Uganda Mount Kadam Hike Adventure

3 Days Uganda Mount Kadam Hike Adventure, Mount Kadam is a volcanic mountain that offers spectacular climbing opportunities and beautiful vistas. The mountain is a part of the Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve and is home to many tribes, including the Kadama, Sebei Pokot, Karamojong, Gishu and Tepeth. You are likely to meet many of them on the mountain, as the trails developed will pass by (or in some cases through) their settlements.

Day 2:  Mount Kadam Hike

After Breakfast setoff for the day exploring Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve hiking the Mount Kadam, The Mount expeditions are a mix of rich encounters with the Uganda’s highland people, breathtaking views and unique sights along the trails and unique campsites where you can enjoy the sunset, the stars and the sunrise over the planes of Karamoja, together with Njia driver guide, walk on a marram road to the trail head (3 km) or organize transportation. Once off the marram, you hike through lush green fields until you reach the foothills and the forest of Kadam. The ascent is steep, following narrow but well-defined trails that pass through local settlements. The final ascent to the campground is steep and requires a little bit of climbing, but ropes or climbing gear are not necessary. Leave the heaviest part of your luggage (tent, etc.) and continue following the trail through the jungle.

At this point, the trail will flatten out for 6 km before you start on the second ascent to the top of Kadam (3,063 m). Those who like simple rock climbing will love this part, as you scramble up rocks with nice handholds. Again, no ropes or special gear required.

Follow the trail up the ridge through tall bushes to reach the flat summit. Take photos of the staggeringly beautiful mountains before turning around and heading back down the same way you came up.

Camp overnight in the mountains, spend your night stargazing and wake up to one of the most spectacular views we have ever seen.
