Religious zealots out to seek their god have since time immemorial climbed Mount Kenya, the soaring mass at the roof of Kenya. This massif begs to be climbed. The natural wonder, still held in much reverence by the central Kenya communities, has become a major attraction for the adventurous tourist. We have the story on why this mountain attracts hundreds of climbers.

A tiny church in Naromoru has a repected niche in the history of the British monarchy. It was in this church that a young princess attended a "Divine Service" on the morning of February 5, 1952. Hours later, she became the Queen of England as she and her husband relaxed at the world-famous Treetops hotel. Find out more about this church in this issue.

Just below the rugged hilly landscape overlooking the fertile Subukia valley, stands a towering white cross that beckons visitors to the hallowed grounds of the Catholic National Village of Mary Shrine. Even if your mission is not to commune with your Creator, you will nevertheless experience this place’s strange capacity to fascinate. More about this exciting place inside.
