Mt. Elgon is the only mountain landscape in the Western Kenya region, offering an opportunity for hikers to summit the extinct shield volcano on the border of Uganda and Kenya, north of Kisumu and west of Kitale. The vast national park has a diverse terrain and dramatic ascents of altitude, the weather sustains distinct vegetation zones.
A two-hour game drive through the forest prepares you for a 16 Km hike to the summit and back; the views are breathtaking. Climbing Mt. Elgon is ideal for hikers seeking to improve their fitness; a good challenge for one preparing for Mt. Kenya or Kilimanjaro.
Mt. Elgon National Park is truly a hidden gem, in Kenya and Uganda.
