At 17,057ft (5199m), Mount Kenya is the tallest mountain in Kenya and
the second highest in Africa. An extinct volcano, created
approximately 3 million years ago, also known as the ‘Place of Light’.
Situated just north of the equator, in central Kenya, the mountain is
part of the Mount Kenya National Park, which was designated a UNESCO
World Heritage site in 1997. Upon seeing this majestic mountain, it is
not hard to understand why the local people believe that their God
resides at its peak.
