Historically known as the Mountains of the Moon, the Rwenzori region is located on the border between Uganda and theRepublic of Congo. Mount Rwenzori is one of the last remaining African summits to have eternal snow. Rwenzori is the local term for “water maker", because these mountains feed many of the region’s rivers.
Mount Rwenzori, Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya are the last glaciers in Africa and they surround the region’s coffee fields. It is a region where peoplehave produced natural coffee for decades. While it is true that the quality of Ugandan coffee is often questioned, some people are fighting to promote the quality coffees produced there and which deserve to be known.
