Wangui Mwangi

The Mount Kenya 🇰🇪🏔️ region is a bit sat on to be honest. There's a lot more that could be done to create "mountain lifestyle" attractions and residential options that are marketed to the world. And for the national park itself.. aren't almost all the trails built during the colonial era? Why nothing new since? They are just routes from all sides to the top for the most part. Why not build a new circular trekking route in the lower reaches, with cabins every 15 to 20 km offering a 5-to-7-day circumnavigation of Mount Kenya? Not all hikers are attracted to the same type of trekking. Some can't handle high altitude or would love the challenge of walking around the mountain in that lush terrain. Who is thinking outside the box when it comes to NEW tourism products that can be created from the land? Ruma National Park near that big mountain on Lake Victoria west of Homa Bay is another place that needs a comprehensive plan to protect from willy nilly development and create a world class tourism product. That's a whole.. grassland national park to mountain to lake in less than 25 km. How that whole area doesn't have a strategic development and protection plan in place boggles my mind. It's a total tourism gold mine. There should be at least two full Dash 8's daily from Wilson at minimum with what that place could be. Calm national park tourism at the back. Solid hiking routes built through the mountain for primarily day hiking with but a 2 night hut hike option.. and then at the front on the lake shore.. from all the water sports to casinos.. nightlife, waterfront shopping like Cape Town, mini-golf, a full 18 hole course and golf resort can be built in the area.. convention centre, the works. The terrain there is THAT grand.. and Kenya is just sitting on it.
