This was a preliminary page to show some of the new pictures from my expedition in January 2009 to the Rwenzori / Ruwenzori. As lot of people are visiting this page I keep it online!

After two expeditions to the Rwenzori, the Book "Rwenzori - Africa's Mountain Wilderness" is finally available. It is the only book of this kind about the Rwenzori and it is definitly worth checking it out.

Rwenzori - Africa's Mountain Wilderness is a coffe table book about one of the most unknown and fascinating mountain areas in the world. Follow the link and you will find more pictures, text samples, order information and a completely free download of the book as pdf!
