Kilele Ngamia

Mount Longonot, whose peak is known as Kilele Ngamia (the camel’s hump), has been my training ground for years, preparing me for bigger and tougher climbs. Here from the escarpment viewpoint of the Rift Vally, you can clearly see the sharp transition from the lush green fields at higher altitude to the dry environment of the button of the Rift Valley below. Mount Longonot is a popular destination for those seeking a reasonably accessible mountain to conquer on a one-day trip.
