I love climbing,I love hiking in mountains. I love the adventure in unique places and Mount Kenya is one of them . I can say that even a single day is enough to live in the middle of a little paradise which is the house of unique species of flora and fauna included in the world heritage. Mount Kenya must be visited and never forgotten. I will recommend Mount Kenya to all my friends.
