Kenya Vlog #6: Climbing Mount Elgon - Koitaboss Peak & Kitum Caves

Northwest of Eldoret, Mount Elgon dominates the horizon, at least on the rare occasions when it is not shrouded in cloud. Elgon is around 880 meters short of Mount Kenya in terms of altitude, but the circumference of its base makes it a bigger massif.
Mount Elgon truly is a hidden gem tucked away right up against the border with Uganda. Thanks to its high altitude, Mt Elgon offers a range of rare wildlife including many bird and animal species that are endemic to the area such as the rare Blue Monkey.

Kenya needs to do a publicity on it's mountains

[@chrisatty]

You can see by your face and continuous smile, how happy you are in Kenya, I was born in Kitale close to mount Elgon as a boy growing up on a farm at Hoeys Bridge ( Moi’s Bridge we could see mount Elgon from the breakfast table on the veranda.As a white Kenya I dearly miss Kenya, my wife said to me once you are different when you are in Kenya, too true. Yes I did the Elgon climb too!
Go well Bro.

Thanks Jasper for such a beautiful vlog of Kenya. Kenya is amazingly beautiful but I didn’t realize that until I left the country. Growing up I did not appreciate the beauty of Kenya 🇰🇪 but since I traveled out of the country Kenya is the most beautiful country in the world

Thanks for watching!

[@Mashariki_0]

I think the best time to go mountain climbing is between October and Feb, during the dry seasons. You might enjoy the views unobstructed by clouds. Other than that, awesome vid

It took 1 day?
Are there tour guides?

[@lorenausanlightvlog]

What kind of plant is that amazing

[@Chaviasmusic]

Although cool looking, please know that cave is extremely dangerous to go to.

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

This is so interesting and fun to watch! Though I need to ask What bag did you use for this trip? Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.

[@jasperepsom]

Simple backpack from Decathlon. So far so good. But thanks for the recommendation
