mount-elgon-caves

Mount Elgon’s slopes are covered with stunning caves left by moving lava and erosion of soft volcanic deposits.

The most famous and easily accessed through forest Exploration Centre is Kapkwai Cave and Khauka Cave on Wanale Ridge.

These caves have cultural and historical attachment to the locals and their livestock because they used to act as shelters for the local community members.

More recently the caves have been used by hikers or climbs and their respective potters when hike to the summit of the mountain.

Jackson’s Pool and Jackson’s Peak

Jackson’s Pool and Jackson’s Peak

Jackson’s Pool is natural pool with shallow waters and this straddles at 4,050m. This pool lies in the shadow of the 4,165m high Jackson’s Peak, a free-standing volcanic plug rising from the western flank of the mountain.

These features or landmarks were named after the first European explorer Frederick Jackson to hike to the summit of the Mountain in the year 1889.

Jackson’s peak is used by the locals around the park as a spot or point they base to communicate with their ancestors.

The peaks and the caldera

Mount Elgon’s highest peaks are formed by high points around a jagged rim enclosing one of the world’s largest calderas, at 40km long and 8km wide.

The highest peak is the 4,321m Wagagi, followed by Sudek (4,303m), Koitobos (4,222m) and Mubiyi (4,210m).

The Caldera found in the park was formed as a result of magma being drained from the chamber. When it could no longer support the overlying volcanic cone, it collapsed into a depression-like shape.

In the eastern corner of the caldera, hot springs are found at the start of the deep Suam Gorge. In the northwest, Simu Gorge was formed by the sheer weight of the water in the caldera cutting two stream beds out of the weak volcanic ash and agglomerate walls.

Nkokenjeru Ridge & Wanale

Nkokenjeru Ridge is a distinguishing finger of forest stretching outwards from the main massif of Mount Elgon.

It lies at an altitude of 2,347m and covers a 25km-long tongue of lava that flowed out of the side of the volcano after the cone collapsed or fell down to block the main vent.

Nkokenjeru Ridge culminates at the superb Wanale Cliffs which tower above Mbale Town; the seasonal Nabuyonga and Namatyo Waterfalls are located here.

A trail at this western end of the ridge leads you to Khauka Cave where petrified wood can be found. This ridge also provides grounds for those travellers interested in paragliding over the Mbale town.

The Nabuyonga Trail is a 5km loop with birding, fauna and flora. Viewpoints overlook Mbale town, Lakes Kyoga, Bisina and Salisbara, and the rugged mountains in Karamoja region.

On a clear day, you may enjoy vistas of Wagagai peak and even areas of western Kenya. Beware of throwing a stone into the Nabuyonga stream – local folklore claims that if you do so, a thunderstorm will strike before you leave.
