Chyulu Hills National Park

The youngest volcanic mountain range in Africa and Kenya, the Chyulu Hills form the major water catchments for a wildlife and agricultural region in excess of 20.000 kilometers. The hills generate the major water supply for Mzima Springs, the sole water source of the coastal towns of Mombasa and Malindi. The Chyulu Hills are covered in a scenic and mysterious rainforest, home to a great variety of wild and bird life. A perfect potential tourist attraction.

Chyulu hills national park is a magical land of black-frozen lava flows with blazing red-hot poker trees; of shoals of the extinct volcanoes wreathed in dense forests and hung with Spanish moss, the Chyulu hills coil like sleeping dragon on the lion-gold plains of this treasure.

The pink haloed peak of Mount Kilimanjaro rises to the west and all around stretch the mirage miles of Masai land, dusty, stalked and dry by scarlet cloaked herders and dust-plumed cattle. The park comprises the eastern flanks of the Chyulu hills including about half the forested area. The park boundary runs down the centre of the hills along the line of peaks. The remaining western portion of the hills is part of the West Chyulu Game Conservation Area and owned by several Masai communities and group ranches.

Eco-tourism in the area will benefit the local population and will protect the 500 square kilometres Chyulu Hills National Park from further deterioration. A single capital investment is required to turn the Park into an economic and self sustaining hub for the entire region.
