The Congolese part of the Rwenzori is also part of the Virunga National Park, which forms part of the greater Virunga Mastif.
Also known as “ Mountains of The Moon (Montes Lunae), this bloc mountain has captivated the imagination of several explorers since it was first claimed as the source of the Nile by Alexandrian astronomer Claudius Ptolemy in 300 AD.
It was not until 1906 that the Italian Duke made the first scientific expedition to the peak of Abruzzi, a team from the Alpine brigade, photographer Vittorio Sella and several native porters from Buganda and Bakonjo tribes.
The Duke was received at the Royal courts of Tooro by Omukama Kasagama Kyebambe III, a forefather to the current king Oyo . Photographer Sella captured photos of the expedition, including the courts.
The most glaring photos were of the snow-capped peaks, including the eponymous Margherita Peak. In stark contrast, 100 years later, the reality of the receding snow line attributed to climate change hits home.
A typical climb to the summit is a 7-day trek from tropical, giant lobelia and groundsel zone, marsh and bog, plants and flowers of the heather zone, bamboo forest, lakes, rivers, waterfalls to the glaciers of Mount Baker, Mount Speke, Alexandria, Elena, Savoia, Mount Stanley, Elena Peaks, and the snow-capped Margherita.

- The Royal expedition is part of the campaign activities to draw attention to the impact of climate change, the significant role of environmental conservation, and the promotion of the Rwenzori Mountains as a unique adventure tourism attraction.
- He became one of the first monarchs in modern times to do so since Prince Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi , an Italian mountaineer and explorer at the turn of the 20th century.
