肯尼亚山国家公园及自然森林

肯尼亚山是东非大裂谷最大的死火山,位于肯中部赤道线上,北距内罗毕约230公里。最高峰海拔5,199米,是仅次于乞力马扎罗山的非洲第二高峰。她穿越赤道线,平时烟雾缭绕,峰顶若隐若现,而在晴朗的日子里几英里以外都可以看到屹立在远处的雪峰。巨大冰河形成的山谷紧靠群山,一片瑰丽的景色。山顶终年积雪,并有15条冰川伸延到4300米处。海拔1500—3500米多密林。2000米以下多种植园,在火山岩发育的肥沃土壤上种植咖啡、剑麻、香蕉等。连同周围地区辟为国家公园。以热带雪峰景色和众多野生动物吸引大量旅游者。山脚和山腰设有旅馆和宿营地。其南面的尼安达鲁瓦山脉的茫茫林海间有野生动物园。

At 5,199 m, Mount Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa. It is an ancient extinct volcano, which during its period of activity (3.1-2.6 million years ago) is thought to have risen to 6,500 m. There are 12 remnant glaciers on the mountain, all receding rapidly, and four secondary peaks that sit at the head of the U-shaped glacial valleys. With its rugged glacier-clad summits and forested middle slopes, Mount Kenya is one of the most impressive landscapes in East Africa. The evolution and ecology of its afro-alpine flora provide an outstanding example of ecological and biological processes. Through the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve, the property also incorporates lower lying scenic foothills and arid habitats of high biodiversity, situated in the ecological transition zone between the mountain ecosystem and the semi-arid savanna grasslands. The area also lies within the traditional migrating route of the African elephant population.
