Meet the keepers of the Mountains of the Moon

Quality Safaris in Uganda at an affordable price - Luxury - Moderate - Budget - without compromise in quality.


Ruboni, is a small village of 2000 people in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon - The Rwenzori Mountains.  They belong to the Bakonzo People who are a part of the Rwenzururu Kingdom.  TheyRuboni Village Walk are a tough and determined people, their lives shaped by the rugged mountains that surround them.

Ruboni Village is a community project where you take foothill guided hikes, and   of course meet the local people and one of the best ways is via the Village Walk.

The setting itself is most beautiful and breathtaking as you begin your guided walk with an English speaking guide and your contribution to this walk assists the local community to better their lives and most of all the lives of their children through education, something that is very important to the Bakonzo people - who are a very focused and purposed people.

The Bakonzo are Bantu and can be found both in the Democratic Republic of Congo and here in Uganda. They have a rich culture which especially in this community is tied together with the Mountains  of which they are the keepers.  The Bakonzo - do not just look at today but at tomorrow and one of the projects is rebuilding the local forest through a tree planting program in which they grow trees from sees - a most interesting part of our visit.

There is the women's craft center where you can see local baskets made and other crafts - amazing how the women put it together.

A visit to the gardens - as local little farms are called - the tending of livestock and gardens - the harvesting of fresh produce and fruit.

A visit with the local storyteller who keeps the history of his people alive through story telling, a lovely time.

A time with the local traditional healer-but such a one in this culture is also seeing into the world of the spirits - you will be amazed as to what you will find.

Food Preparation with ingredients from the gardens-taste some of the local food

At the end of walk- a celebration of Bakonzo Dance and Music.
