Buhweju Hills

by Round Hill

The Buhweju Hills are located in the Rwenzori Mountains of western Uganda, boardering the Democratic Republic of Congo. Often called the ‘Mountains of the Moon’ for their snow-capped peaks, the mountains are known for their dramatic landscapes, rich volcanic soils and diverse microclimates - from flat, fertile valleys to waterfalls and steep, misty rainforest slopes. In the local Rukonjo language, rwenzori means ‘rainmaker,’ a fitting name for its unique growing conditions.
