| 5 Days Mt Kenya mountain climbing safari from £535pp |
The main attraction and landmark
of this park is Kenya's highest mountain, Mt Kenya which, sits astride the Equator its icy summit reaching a height of 5199m (17,058 ft). For the sporty tourist it is the best spot for mountaineering.
Many rivers spring from the perpetual snow caps, among them the mighty River Tana, Kenya's largest and longest river and source of much
of the country's electric supply.
Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, several
species of Antelope including the rare Bongo are some of the wildlife
that can be spotted here. It hosts some of the most spectacular golf courses in the world in
terms of scenery where you might be joined by the occasional ostrich running across the fairway whilst
doing your crucial back swing. Another of natures wonders is the Equator also found in this part of the country. Water drains clockwise on one side and anticlockwise
20 meters away from the equator while on the equator it does
not rotate at all. Amazing hah! |
