The forest and bamboo are home to hundreds of buffaloes, bushbucks, and a plethora of bird species. We hike a little higher about 1km from Old Moses camp to 3600m to see 2 Mt. Kenya peaks – Nelion and Batian. After taking pictures we descend from 3600m to Old Moses Camp at 3300m for our picnic lunch.
