From the Exotic coast on the Indian Ocean the low plains rise to the central highlands. The highlands are bisected by The Great Rift Valley; a fertile plateau in the west. The Kenyan Highlands comprise one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa. The highlands are the site of the highest point in Kenya (and the second highest in Africa): Mount Kenya, which reaches 5,199 meters (17,057 ft). Climate varies from tropical along the coast to the hot and dry interior. Kilimanjaro, the tallest free standing mountain in the world at (19,034 feet) is clearly visible from Amboseli National Park in the South. |
