Mount Kenya is a dormant volcano that first erupted about 3 million years ago and last erupted about 2.6 million years ago. In 1997, UNESCO designated this spectacular location as a World Heritage Site. It is bordered by a national park and is located on the equator in Kenya's central area. A climb up this mountain provides panoramic views of the volcanic peaks, broad valleys, gorges, and surrounding savannah, making it the ideal African hiking experience.
