Mount Kenya & the Aberdares Region

These two neighboring areas are in the Central Highlands of Kenya and have an amazing geography of contrast. The deep green of cultivated farmland gives way to the purple-gray scrub grass of high ranches where cattle, sheep and plains game graze. The mountain ranges are covered with forests with hidden trout streams. In the center is the Mt. Kenya (5189m) - among the world's largest free-standing volcanic mountains.

The equator crosses the northern slopes of the Mt. Kenya at 3350 meters. At the equator slight variations of altitude create enormous changes in both climate and landscape causing diverse weather changes. You can pass from the cool misty forest of the Aberdares to the dry Laikipia
