Kenya Vacations
History
The main motivational factor behind the
Agikuyu building their homes facing the vibrant snow capped peaks of Mount Kenya rests on the myth that the mountain was
the home of Ngai (God), who was the Mwene nyaga (possessor of brightness), given
the shiny snowcapped surface of the slopes. Shrines were therefore
commonplace and people actively participated in rituals and sacrifices until 1949
when the park was gazetted. Indeed, one might say that visiting Mt.Kenya National
Park is like entering God’s house only that you drive into it.
