MOUNT KENYA (KIRINYAGA)
It is the second highest mountain in Africa; it is an extinct volcano located in the central highlands of Kenya, only a hundred kilometers north of Nairobi and ten miles south of Ecuador. The mountain has two peaks: Batian and Nelion separated by a narrow space surrounded by an intricate system of peaks and ridges with many glaciers. This mountain offers diverse natural attractive landscapes which have been exploited to combine the wildlife of the area with entertainment activities such as climbing or skiing.

One of the most visited places is the South Coast of Mombasa; a tropical paradise with palm trees and sand that contrasts with the turquoise Indian Ocean that contains beautiful coral reefs that you can see from the surface or if you prefer, under water. This place provides a world-class diving for its spectacular coral gardens; if you do not know diving, do not worry here you will find different diving schools that will teach you how to dive in a few classes so then you can enjoy this magical landscape.
The beaches are surrounded by lush forests with an amazing variety of wildlife that you can enjoy comfortably thanks to the wide range of world class stations focused on many beaches like Diani Beach where you can find the best facilities in the middle of this natural paradise.

The south coast has also a relaxing getaway; it is much smaller but ideal for visitors who want to wander around peaceful lands.
Further south, the Shimoni village is home to deep and mysterious caves that extend from the sea to the depths of the jungles; they can be visited in small boats, and it is said that these caves served as a refuge for sailors from Arab slave traders and some explorers. Whether you are looking for adventure or relaxation, the Kenyan coast offers all you could want.
