Just over the Kenyan border in Uganda, Wagagai Peak, standing at an elevation of 4,321 meters (14,177 feet) above sea level, is the highest point of Mount Elgon. Best approached from the Uganda side of Mount Elgon National Park, Wagagai Peak is a popular destination for trekkers and adventure enthusiasts, offering breathtaking views and an unforgettable high-altitude experience at the tropics. At the summit, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding plains, valleys, and volcanic features.

If the Mbale Route is used to hike Mount Elgon, on the western side in Uganda, hikers take the Soroti Road to Budadiri, the traditional launching point. Climbers wishing to use Uganda or the Mbale route should contact the Mountain Club of Uganda , for up-to-date information on the condition of the huts, porters and hut booking. The shortest but steepest route to Wagagai Peak, taking about 4 days, is Sasa Trail. A scenic but longer route, taking about 5 to 7 days, starting near the world-famous Sipi Falls, is the same-name Sipi Trail. A gradual route that is less strenuous, ideal for those wanting to enjoy the journey and wildlife, is Piswa Trail.

From Bumagabula, a path leads in 5-6 hours to the Uganda Mountain Club Hut, Sasa Hut. From here it is a further 5-6 hours to Wagagai. The alternative route up Mount Elgon on the Uganda side is through Bukalisi, 34 km south of Budadiri. From here it is a poor steep road via the Sasa Trail to Bumasola, 6 km away over a rough underfoot. It is possible to drive up to the southern edge of Bumasola and launch from there. From here the trail goes past the famous ‘Wall of Death’ and ‘Mudange Cliff’ to Sasa River Camp, 5-6 hours away. The next morning the path is followed up the valley to the Mude Cave Camp passing the Jackson Springs and Jackson’s Summit and into a small valley with tarns and amazing pine flora, on to Wagagai.
