A Kingdom Above the Clouds
Rising to 5,199 meters, Mount Kenya is not just the second highest peak in Africa; it is a sacred sentinel of the central highlands. A UNESCO World Heritage site, its
rugged glacier-clad summits, diverse flora ranging from montane forests to high-
altitude afro-alpine moorlands, and unique wildlife make it the ultimate sanctuary
for the modern naturalist and the daring adventurer alike.
