Kenya
In September 2007 I spent ten days in east africa to climb Mount Kenya, the second highest peak on the continent after Kilimanjaro. The mountain and it's surrounding area is justifiably famous for it's varied scenery. I actually made it to the top of Point Lenana (4985m). Unfortunately, the views from the top were limited due to snowfall. I also did some wildlife spotting in the Samburu National Reserve and the Lake Nakuru National Park.

In the central highlands of Kenya, a couple of hundred kilometers north of the equator, lays Mount Kenya, Africa's second highest peak. The mountain and it's surrounding area is famous for it's varied scenery. I chose the popular Chogoria route for the ascent combining it with the Burguret route for a six day east-west traverse.

Samburu is a small reserve of scrub desert, thorn bush, riverine forest, and swamps along the Ewaso Ngiro River, situated north of Mount Kenya. Elephant and lion are plentiful, as are oryx, reticulated giraffe, zebra and other species adapted to an arid environment. Lake Nakuru National Park is best known for its millions of flamingos nesting along the shores.
