Mount Kipipiri, Dormant volcano in Wanjohi Valley, Kenya
Mount Kipipiri rises to 3,349 meters in elevation, offering views of Lake Naivasha from its summit and featuring diverse wildlife including elephants and buffalo.
The Wanjohi Valley beneath Mount Kipipiri maintained an active social environment among European settlers from 1920 to 1940, leading to numerous literary works.
The name Kipipiri comes from Gikuyu language, reflecting the mountain's profile that resembles a butterfly when observed from particular angles.
Hiking expeditions begin at Geta Forest Station, taking approximately 8 hours to reach the summit through a path that crosses rivers and meadows.
The Mount Kipipiri Forest Reserve contains a wildlife corridor with specialized rolling bar grids that allow vehicles to pass while preventing animals from entering farmlands.
