Mount Marsabit, Ancient volcanic summit in Marsabit County, Kenya.
Mount Marsabit rises 1,707 meters above sea level, featuring dense forests, crater lakes, and volcanic formations within Marsabit National Park in northern Kenya.
During the 1920s, American filmmakers Martin and Osa Johnson established their base near Lake Paradise to create wildlife documentaries about the mountain region.
The mountain holds traditional significance for local Rendille and Borana communities, who gather in the area for ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails leading to the summit, offering opportunities to observe over 400 bird species and diverse wildlife.
Two volcanic crater lakes within Mount Marsabit provide essential water sources in this arid region, supporting numerous animal species.
