About

Mount Moroto, also Moroto Mountain (3,083 m or 10,115 ft), is a mountain in the Northeastern part of Uganda.

The native name for this mountain was "Moru To" (meaning "the western mountain", derived from the words "Moru" meaning mountain and "To" meaning west). It was named so because during the migration of the native tribes, who originated from Ethiopia, it appeared west.
