History

Like wine matures with time, Mt. Elgon national park has over the years matured into a world-class tourist site. Missing the Mount Elgon eruptions that led to the formation of the Great Rift Valley would be like missing your own birthday. The park gives animals a semblance of normal life in the jungle. The park was gazzeted in 1976 and later thrown in a sinister and senseless web of poaching that had plagued the country in the 1980s, until the government stemmed the problem.
