位于肯尼亚中部、距内罗毕约 175 公里 的 肯尼亚山国家公园,保护着海拔 5,199 米 的 肯尼亚山(Mount Kenya)及其延伸生态系统。该公园始建于 1949 年,后于 1978 年被列入 UNESCO 生物圈保护区,并在 1997 年成为世界遗产。
肯尼亚山是非洲第二高峰,仅次于 乞力马扎罗山。它是一座已熄火的古火山,形成于约 310–260 万年前,冰川遗迹明显。公园面积约 715 平方公里,覆盖从山麓森林至寒原带的多重植被分布。植被带从常绿山地森林、竹林、苔原到高山荒原,生物多样性丰富。
旱季为 6–9 月与 12–2 月,降雨较少、道路条件好、徒步视野佳。雨季可能影响行程,应备好防雨、防滑装备。
作为水源涵养区与生态系统关键节点,公园对肯尼亚当地与环邻地区意义重大。游客应选择低冲击旅行方式,尊重地方文化与生态限制。

Erastus Njaga Mt. Kenya Forest is a true gem. It's packed with all sorts of plants and animals. Plus, the views of the hills are simply stunning. A great spot for nature lovers or anyone looking for a peaceful escape.
Christopher Chung Beautiful mountain with a sacred history in both Kikuyu and Maasai folklore. Varied landscape (high jungle, grassland, rocky lunar) and wildlife. Ask where the elephants are on their circular migration around the base. Camping permitted anywhere within. Assistance of a guide (even for day hike), highly suggested. A real treat in Africa.
