Mount Kenya National Park
Overview
Mount Kenya National Park is home to the second tallest mountain in Africa, Mount Kenya. The park was established in 1949 in an effort to protect Mount Kenya and its surrounding environments. The park has been deemed both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The park spans 715 sq. km and the forest reserve at the base of the mountain measures 271 sq. km.
The Mount Kenya National Park is unique as it contains multiple ecosystems and consists of varying levels of vegetation. A tropical forested area exists at the lower part of the mountain, here buffalo and elephants, and other wildlife can be found roaming. Beyond this forest area lies moorland where a diverse range of interesting species of plants can be found. Beyond this, as the ascent up the mountain continues, the landscape turns barren and harsh as patches of snow and ice are visible.
Join us on Kenya Safaris to this most unusual vertical park. We have safaris departing from Nairobi going to Mt. Kenya and other prime Kenya Parks.
