OL DONYO SABUK NATIONAL PARK

Dominated by a small mountain covered in montane forest, Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park is home to 45 bird species, buffalo, Columbus monkey, baboons, bushbuck, impala and abundant birdlife. Lord MacMillan was the first white man to settle here, and everything else that has happened since is largely attributed to him. This area is adorned with lots of untamed beauty and only 3kms drive from here to the famous fourteen falls. Near the peak is the grave of Lord MacMillan, his wife and their dog. . This is an only mountain with different native names…the Maasai called it ‘Ol Donyo’ meaning large mountain, the Kikuyu called it ‘kea-njahe’ meaning the mountain of big rain and Swahili Kilimambogo meaning mountain of buffalo.It’s particularly attractive for hikers or families wanting some freedom and exercise, outside their vehicles. The park's attraction is its beauty and views of both Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro.
