National Park
Intersecting the border of Uganda and Kenya, Mount Elgon National Park is an extinct volcano with the largest surface area compared to all extinct volcanoes in the world.


The Kenyan part of the park was gazetted in 1968 and the Ugandan part in 1992, covering 430 square miles. In the park, mammals, birds, and beautiful flora and fauna coexist in perfect harmony.
There is also a cave with ancient paintings near the trailhead, and the hot springs in the former volcano craters.
