Together with Uganda Wildlife Authority, our local outfitter will be implementing a programme to propagate the indigenous bamboo and replant the affected areas so future generations will be able to enjoy the beauty of the bamboo. At around 3,000 metres to 3,300 metres you walk through a newly discovered giant heather zone after which continues into the moorland zone which is open high- altitude grasslands and wildflowers with scattered areas of giant heather and rolling hills. We take a short break at a rest point in the upper levels of the moorland zone before walking the last two kilometres to Masaba Camp at 3,745 metres. You get excellent views from Masaba Camp across the high-altitude grasslands, the stunning forests and foothills. At night, you see the lights of Mbale City in the distance.

After a short rest you may decide to climb 1.2 km to the top of the Masaba Table which is flat rock with vertical cliffs all around averaging 70 to 90 metres above the surrounding moorland grasses studded with the giant lobelia and groundsel plants. Masaba Table is one huge rock 700 metres long and 200 metres wide and sits at an average altitude of 4,000 m above sea level and offers exceptional views
