The reserve is for the adventurous and strong enough to take the challenge to scale the 5199 metres to the top of Mt. Kenya, the highest mountain in Kenya and the second highest in Africa after Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The reserve straddles the equator. The entire mountain contour forms Mt. Kenya National park. The kikuyu who live in these areas of central Kenya referred this mountain as Kiri-nyaga whose literal meaning is 'has ostriches’. The kikuyu also fondly refer during adoration to their God (Ngai) as ‘Mwene nyaga’ meaning the ‘owner of Ostriches’ and that Mt.Kenya was the seat of their God. The name of the country Kenya comes from the inability of the British to pronounce and write Kirinyaga correctly.
