Ruwenzori Range, mountain range in central Africa, located alongside the Great Rift Valley, on the Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire) border, between Lake Albert and Lake Edward. The Ruwenzori Range was visited in 1889 by an expedition that was led by the British-American explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley, and the major peaks were explored and climbed in 1906 by the expedition of the Italian Luigi Amedeo, duke of Abruzzi. Several peaks rise above 4877 m (16,000 ft); the highest peak is Margherita Peak at 5,109 m (16,762 ft).
