The park is home to diverse habitats, including montane forests, alpine moorlands, and Afro-alpine grasslands, each supporting a rich array of plant and animal life. Hikers to Mt. Kenya National Park can explore its pristine wilderness through hiking trails, mountain climbing expeditions, and guided nature walks.
