Astoundingly, just 16 km from the equator, 12 glaciers continue to shape the jagged roots of what was once Africa's tallest mountain. After seeing the 5199 worth of dramatic remnants that comprise e Mt Kenya (now Africa's second-highest mountain) it's easy to understand why the Kikuyu people deified it and believe it's a seat of their supreme god Ngai. Fortunately for the many travelers who try this ascent every year, Ngai doesn't seem to be concerned by the trekkers .however you would be wise not to tempt fate, so treat mount Kenya with the utmost respect. Besides being venerated by the kikuyu, Mt Kenya has the rare honor of being both a UNESCO World heritage Site and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
