The peak of Mt. Longonot
Here we are, descending from the summit of Longonot’s Kilele Ngamia (The Camel’s Hump) on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. The near-perfect crater, blanketed in lush vegetation, stretches out before us. After rainfall, steam vents from fissures in the mountainside, a captivating reminder of Longonot’s volcanic origins. Located within the Great Rift Valley, the mountain’s proximity to the Earth’s magma chamber means that water seeping deep into the soil is heated, creating the mesmerizing steam plumes you can observe in the rainy season.
