The stooping Chyulu Hills on the border of the Amboseli plains and the Tsavo plains are easily overshadowed by Kenya's tallest mountains. This 150-kilometer-long mountain range, located 200 kilometers southeast of Nairobi, was carved out of the enormous Tsavo West National Park in 1983, and its eastern slopes were designated as Chyulu Hills National Park. What made it so special that it was given this honor? While Mt Kilimanjaro, around 70 kilometers southwest, is Africa's tallest peak, the Chyulu Hills have the world's deepest known lava tube cave. Some of its volcanic eruptions occurred as recently as 240 years ago, leaving behind the Shetani lava flow and Chaimu

The Aberdares slopes are also a key supply of vegetables for Nairobi grocery stores, and arguably the most significant source of the Irish potato, Nairobi's second most important staple food. Although the hill may be climbed from a variety of locations, the ideal approach is from the Njabini Forest Station (formerly Kinangop South Forest Station), which is located approximately 4 kilometers from the Njabini retail area. From the Forest Station, at a height of 2500m, the trek up the hill takes 4 to 5 hours. The first 5 kilometers are over very level plantation forest-covered terrain, with occasional Shamba-style controlled farming activities. The route subsequently takes a sharp
