Mount
Kenya is stratovolcano that forms glaciations. It is covered by an ice cap for
thousands of years which are part of tourist’s attraction. This has resulted in
very erosion of slopes and numerous valleys radiating from the center.mt
Kenya National park is among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites designated in the year
1997.
Far
from being a just single peak Mount Kenya is in fact a massif consisting of a
multitude of imposing spires, cliffs, complex ridges and peaks. These are the
weathered remnants of a large extinct volcano that was active several million
years ago. Mount Kenya straddles the equator but is sufficiently high to
receive significant snowfall and to be circled with several glaciers. This
factual information makes Kenya safari
holiday as a unique experience.
Apart
from the superb climbing potential on Mount Kenya, its tarns and alpine meadow,
exotic, equatorial, high-altitude vegetation zones, various species of birds, rock
hyrax and soaring eagles make the walk around the peaks one of the most
beautiful expeditions in the Kenya
safaris
Mt Kenya
National Park which is simply stunning to both locals and foreigners.It offers
a more gentle approach to trekking/climbing than Kilimanjaro and differs in
that there is a great deal more wildlife to be spotted. From a distance the volcanic
peak dominates the surrounding slopes and valleys. Elephant, black Rhino, Cape
Buffalos, Colobus monkey, antelope and Giant Forest Hog can be seen in the
foothills of the 228 sq. mile national park.
