Welcome to the Moon Mountain Cottages
at Mitandi, Uganda
The comfortable, high-standard cottages at Mitandi are located at 1800m altitude in the mysterious Mountains of the Moon; a spectacular snow-capped mountain range in the heart of equatorial Africa.
Vigdis and Tore from Norway offer their guests a unique experience, delicious food (a tasty mix of norwegian, ugandan and international cuisine) – and of course magnificent view over the mountains.
Mitandi is the perfect starting point for mountain walks, chimpanzee trekking and safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Enjoy peace by the fire, quiet atmosphere and stunningly beautiful nature. Your stay benefits the people of the Rwenzori mountains.
