Mount Mtelo
Mount Mtelo (Sekerr) is the fifth highest 'mountain' in Kenya (3336m/10,944 ft), after Mt Kenya, Mt Elgon, Aberdares and High Cheranganis, () and is situated in the North West highlands of West Pokot County, approximately 120 km north of Kitale Town.
==Climbing the mountain==
Marich Pass Field Studies Centre () represents a good base from which to explore the mountain and guides are available to help you with the ascent. It is a three-day hike () to the top and back, and it is advised that hikers stay a night or two at the wonderful Mount Mtelo Viewpoint Camp (), a campsite with cottage accommodation run by the Ywalasiwa family. However, it is possible to get to the campsite by vehicle, an amazing drive up the Sekerr escarpment. No specialist equipment or training is required for the climb, and there are different trails that can be taken to the campsite and peak passing through cultivated areas of the Pokot, forest, bamboo and open moorland, with extensive views of eastern Uganda and north-west Kenya on a clear day. The mountain is considered sacred, as it is described as the cradle of pastoral Pokot according to oral traditions (). Mount Mtelo is home to black-and-white colobus monkeys, small antelope, 3 species of turaco and 10 sunbird species.
The altitude means the temperature and humidity is lower than in Marich, making hiking far more comfortable as well as being unfavourable for mosquitoes.
