Mount Kinangop

Kenya

Mount Kinangop (or Ilkinangop) is a mountain in the southern Aberdare Range about 160 kilometres (99 mi) north of Nairobi, Kenya. It is within the Aberdare National Park. A dormant volcano, Kinangop overlooks the Kinangop Plateau to the west and the Great Rift Valley beyond. Kinangop is the second-highest peak in the Aberdares after Mount Satima. The lower levels of the mountain have extensive bamboo forests. Higher up it is covered by tussock grasses. The main peak is a rocky outcrop surrounded by open moorlands. Due to the altitude, temperatures are cool and may drop below freezing at night.
