Mount Kenya, standing at 17,057 feet, is Africa's second-highest peak and is considered the home of Ngai, the God. The mountain rises dramatically from the high plains, starting gracefully before reaching its jagged, glaciated peak. It is often visible in the mornings but is hidden by clouds in the afternoons, which Hemingway described as "look[ing] like you could have scooped them up with a spoon." This majestic and tender mountain, as Hemingway referred to it, serves as an enduring source of inspiration for visitors on Lamlav Safaris. It reminds them of Africa’s beauty and balance. Kenya is the only country in the world named after a mountain, and Mount Kenya holds a special place in the hearts of those who live near it, representing more than just a natural landmark — it is an integral part of their lives.
