These treks traverse distinct vegetation zones, from tropical rainforest and bamboo forests to alpine meadows and barren rock, showcasing dramatic landscapes of glacial valleys, stunning waterfalls, and crystal-clear alpine lakes. Beyond the summit attempts, shorter nature walks are available in the lower zones, providing a less strenuous way to experience the park's beauty, observe birdlife, and encounter smaller wildlife. Cultural encounters with the local Bakonzo communities residing around the park's perimeter can also be arranged, offering insights into their traditional way of life.

Accommodation options for visitors to Rwenzori Mountains National Park are predominantly geared towards supporting trekking expeditions. Along the main trekking routes, such as the Central Circuit and Kilembe Trail, a series of basic hut camps are maintained. These facilities, often managed by the park authorities or private operators like Rwenzori Mountaineering Services (RMS) and Kilembe Trail, provide essential shelter, bunk beds, and rudimentary cooking facilities being designed for trekkers seeking a genuine wilderness experience, rather than luxury. Outside the park gates, particularly in the nearby town of Kasese, and closer to the main trailhead at Nyacalengija, a greater variety of accommodation can be found. These range from budget guesthouses offering simple comforts to more mid-range lodges that cater to weary trekkers seeking a hot shower and a comfortable bed before or after their adventure.
