Mount Elgon National Park

Safari – Hidden Gem of Western

Kenya

Mount Elgon National Park offers scenic crater treks, forest wildlife, and massive lava caves on Kenya’s western frontier. Ideal for hikers, birders, and nature lovers, it’s less crowded and rich in biodiversity.

Tucked away on the Kenya-Uganda border, Mount Elgon National Park is one of East Africa’s best-kept safari secrets — a haven for hikers, spelunkers, and eco-travelers. Dominated by the extinct Mount Elgon volcano, this protected area features one of the world’s largest intact calderas, vast bamboo forests, scenic waterfalls, and dramatic caves like Kitum Cave, famed for its salt-mining elephants. Nature lovers enjoy spotting unique wildlife such as colobus monkeys, forest buffaloes, bushbucks, and over 300 bird species including the rare lammergeier. The Mount Elgon hike rewards adventurers with crater rim views, moorland landscapes, and untouched wilderness — without the crowds found in other parks.
