Apparently, there's the Rwenzori mountains with glaciers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwenzori_Mountains

This map suggests that Mount Elgon in the east is also rather cold:

But from what I can tell superficially, it doesn't have glaciers...

Yeah, I specifically buy cough drops that don't taste overly good for that reason now...

I was gonna object that it's a vegan diet, because they're presumably not gonna do eggs or milk, but apparently not strictly vegetarian either:

Mountain gorillas spend about a quarter of their day eating, mainly plants. Around 85% of their diet is made up of leaves, shoots and stems, but gorillas can also eat larvae, snails, ants, and even roots, barks and rotting wood (a good source of sodium/salt).
