This Wajir is the high hill country above Nairobi – a<br />

land of mountain peaks, spectacular waterfalls<br />

and remote alpine moors that provide a<br />

unique and breathtaking African landscape.<br />

It is also an area of coffee plantations and<br />

small farms that make up the region’s thriving<br />

agricultural sector.<br />

There is, of course, wildlife to view. But, for the<br />

visitor, this is an area in which to enjoy adrenalin-fuelled<br />

sports such as white-water rafting,<br />

mountaineering and bungee jumping and a<br />

chance to participate in less strenuous activities<br />

not usually associated with <strong>Kenya</strong>, such as<br />

hill walking and trout fishing.<br />

the crown of the Central <strong>Kenya</strong><br />

circuit Kipini is Mount <strong>Kenya</strong> which, at 5,200 metres,<br />

is Africa’s second highest mountain. It is certainly<br />

a much more challenging and interesting<br />

climb than the ‘walk-up’ that is used to reach<br />

the summit of Africa’s highest peak, Mount<br />

Nearby is Aberdare National Park, which complements<br />
