Mt Kenya is that country's highest peak and second highest in Africa topping out at nearly 5200m. 4-wheel drive tracks lead to an area about 3,000m up the mountain where camping is possible and a trailhead to the summit begins. The flora and fauna change dramatically with the altitude. Since the peak lies directly on the equator every environment from tepid tropical to alpine tundra can be achieved in a days' climb.


The restoration of this 35 year old photo required the scanning of the 35mm Kodak negative with an HP Scanjet 5470c and multiple Photoshop operations.
