Find yourself traversing between Kenya and Uganda on Mount Elgon, the oldest and largest solitary volcano in East Africa. Don’t worry, this shield volcano is extinct and no longer active.
There are only 330 carbonatite volcanoes in the world, Mount Homa is one of them. Located in western Kenya, Mount Homa forms a broad peninsula on the southern shore of Winam Gulf, an extension of Lake Victoria.
Mount Longonot, a stratovolcano, is one of the most interesting mountains you’ll find! A forest of small trees covers the crater floor, and several steam vents surround the walls of the crater. Zebras, giraffes, buffalos, and hartebeest call Mount Longonot home.
We couldn’t forget about Kilimanjaro, now could we? The world’s highest freestanding mountain, it draws adventure seekers from all over the globe who wish to claim to have trekked it.
