Mt. Kenya

Mt. Kenya is Africa's second highest mountain, don't let that put you off though. For what little it lacks in elevation - a difference of less than 700m - it definitely makes up for in scenery. An alpinist's mountain, even without technical climbing, Mt. Kenya possesses breathtaking views, incredibly unique vegetation, some of the last remaining equatorial glaciers on earth, and is also known as the sacred home of Ngai - the name of God in the Kikuyu tradition.
