Mount Kenya National Park

Mount Kenya National Park encircles Africa’s second-highest peak, a majestic extinct volcano whose glaciated summits rise dramatically above the surrounding plains. This UNESCO World Heritage Site protects a remarkable ecological progression, from alpine meadows and unique high-altitude flora down through dense rainforest teeming with wildlife. The park is a sanctuary for elephants, buffaloes, endangered species like the bongo antelope, and a rich variety of birdlife. It offers a world-class mountaineering challenge for climbers, while its lower slopes provide scenic trails and breathtaking vistas for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
