Minyera Hot Springs is a natural thermal site in western Uganda near the Albertine Rift, where chloride-rich hot water emerges from the earth in the lush tropical landscape at the base of the Rwenzori Mountains — the 'Mountains of the Moon' — in one of Africa's most biodiverse regions. The springs are used by local communities for bathing and are accessible to visitors exploring the extraordinary natural heritage of the western Uganda rift valley. The proximity of the Rwenzori Mountains National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the rich chimpanzee habitat of Kibale Forest make any visit to the Minyera area exceptionally wildlife-rich.
