Celebrating the 120th Anniversary of the Historic 1906 Rwenzori Expedition

18 June 2026

June 18 marks the 120th anniversary of the historic 1906 Rwenzori Expedition, led by Prince Luigi Amedeo, Duke of Abruzzi, whose journey brought global attention to the legendary Rwenzori Mountains, known as the ‘Mountains of the Moon’. 

The Rwenzoris form a dramatic backdrop to Kibale Lodge, with stunning views of the range's iconic peaks. Volcanoes Safaris founder Praveen Moman reflects, “The way the lodge is sited, you feel as if you look at the Rwenzoris eye to eye.”
