An extinct shield volcano on the Kenya–Uganda border — extraordinary geology, extraordinary trekking.
Mount Elgon National Park is an extinct shield volcano which last erupted about 2 million years ago. The base is 80km wide and features the largest mountain caldera in the world at 8km across. The park covers 1,279km² straddling the Kenya–Uganda border.
Local communities call the mountain "Masaba" — named after the founding father of the Bamasaaba people, one of the oldest Bantu tribes of Eastern Uganda, who originally lived on the high slopes to avoid attack from neighbouring tribes.
The Sasa Trail is the most developed and spectacular route. In 2023, John Hunwick signed a formal concession with the Uganda Wildlife Authority — creating a new loop along the Mukooka Ridge and a new entrance passing under the 61-metre Nabunyifu Falls.
