Mount Suswa, Shield volcano in Ewuaso Oonkidong'i ward, Kenya
Mount Suswa rises 2356 meters above sea level, featuring a double crater structure with a moat-like inner crater surrounding a tilted block of rock.
The extensive cave system at Mount Suswa provided shelter for Kenyan Mau Mau fighters during their resistance against British colonial rule.
The Maasai people maintain their traditional pastoral practices around Mount Suswa, moving their cattle through seasonal grazing routes across the grasslands.
Visitors need four-wheel drive vehicles to access the mountain, and local guides can navigate through multiple checkpoints managed by the Mount Suswa Conservancy.
The mountain contains a network of over 70 connected lava tubes, forming one of the most intricate braided cave systems on Earth.
