MOUNT KENYA

Mount Kenya
Mt Kenya, Africa’s second highest peak is regarded as the realm of Ngai, god of the local Kikuyu people. Traditionally, all Kikuyu home were built to face this sacred peak. They call it Kirinyaga, or place of light.
The mountain is an awe-inspiring sight. Its ragged series of peaks are crowned with snow, and its slopes are thick with forest. The mountain is best seen at dawn, when the days early light gives its impressive summit high over the surrounding plains.
While the 5199 metre summit is a difficult technical climb, the lesser peak of Point Lenana (4985m) can be easily reached by any fit trekker.
This trek takes between 3 and 5 days, through a fascinating world of forests, wildlife, unique montane vegetation including podocarpus and grounsel, and finally one of the worlds rarest sights, equatorial snow. For those who don’t want to climb the Mountain the cool highlands that surround its base are well worth a visit. The forests are ideal for game viewing, and there are crystal clear mountain streams that abound with Trout.
Getting Around - Main road access to Mt Kenya is via Nanyuki or Naro Moru, both easily accessed from Nairobi by bus/matatu or private transport. Some trekkers and Climbers access the Mountain from the small village of Chogoria. There is an airstrip in Nanyuki, with both scheduled and charter flights available.

Many trekking companies can organize transfers from Nairobi to Mt Kenya. See the Trekking, Mountain Climbing and Safaris and Tours sections for details. Hotels in Nanyuki and Naro Moru can organize transfers to the gates of Mt Kenya National Park.

Everything start with a purpose

DEFINATION OF THE WORD PURPOSE

  • ORIGINAL intent for the creation of a thing
  • Original reason for  existence of a thing.
  • The ends for which the means exist.
  • The cause for the creation of the thing
  • The desired results that intiates production.
  • The need that’s makes the manufacturer produce a thing or a specific product.
  • The expectation of  the source.
  • The ojective for the subject
  • The aspiration for the inspiration.


A point to note: PURPOSE PRECEDES PRODUCTION.
 Every product is produced by purpose for a purpose..its exist for its original purpose and thus can find its true meaning or fulfilment only in performing the purpose for which it was created for.Until purpose is discovered existence has no meaning.
It time we discover our aspiration and inspiration.....for that is the beggining of  life.
     Be blessed.

My Land is Kenya

K

OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM

National Anthem in English
“Oh God of all creation
Bless this our land and nation
Justice be our shield and defender
May we dwell in unity
Peace and liberty
Plenty be found within our borders.
Let one and all arise
With hearts both strong and true
Service be our earnest endeavour
And our homeland of Kenya
Heritage of splendour
Firm may we stand to defend.
Let all with one accord
In common bond united
Build this our nation together
And the glory of Kenya
The fruit of our labour
Fill every heart with thanksgiving.”
And In Swahili:
“Ee Mungu nguvu yetu
Ilete baraka kwetu
Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi
Natukae na undugu
Amani na uhuru
Raha tupate na ustawi.
Amkeni ndugu zetu
Tufanye sote bidii
Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu
Nchi yetu ya Kenya
Tunayoipenda
Tuwe tayari kuilinda
Natujenge taifa letu
Ee, ndio wajibu wetu
Kenya istahili heshima
Tuungane mikono
Pamoja kazini
Kila siku tuwe na shukrani.”
The national anthem became official in 1963, the date of Kenya’s independence. The words were written by a commission appointed by the government, consisting of Thomas Kalume, Washington Omondi, Peter Kibukosya, George Senoga-Zake and Graham Hyslop.
The task given to them by the government was to select a tune that took into account the traditional music of Kenya, which would both have dignity and also lend itself to harmonisation and orchestration for performance by orchestras and military bands. The music would also have to fit both the English and Swahili lyrics.
Tunes from many parts of the country were considered. The final choice was a tune sung by mothers for their children from Pokomo country.
The lyrics were meant to establish a common identity for Kenyans from all tribes and to express convictions held deeply by all of them

"As envoys, we are the face of Kenya in the respective countries of accreditation, and as government representatives, we have a duty to project Kenya 's image appropriately at international level," said Gello, whose immediate priority is expanding bilateral trade, tourism and promoting open investment between the two states.
