Snow capped Mount Kenya, which straddles the equator, is the world most freestanding mountain, and Africa's second highest. The Batian peak towers 5199m above sea level. The glaciers have scoured deep valleys that radiate from the summit slope. Mount Kenya itself is part of both, a national park and a highly protected 'biosphere reserve'.

These forest belts are host to many different animals and plants with at least 10 unique species. Game viewing includes black and white Colobus and Sykes monkeys, elephants, lower down Olive Baboons, bushbucks, buffalos, waterbucks, black fronted duikers, black rhinos, leopards, giant forest hogs, genet cats, bush pigs, and the sly hyenas. More elusive is the bongo, a rare type of forest antelope.
