The Buhweju Hills are located in the Rwenzori Mountains of western Uganda, boardering the Democratic Republic of Congo. Often called the ‘Mountains of the Moon’ for their snow-capped peaks, the mountains are known for their dramatic landscapes, rich volcanic soils and diverse microclimates - from flat, fertile valleys to waterfalls and steep, misty rainforest slopes. In the local Rukonjo language, rwenzori means ‘rainmaker,’ a fitting name for its unique growing conditions.
