Holy Mount Mkuru

Mount Mkuru is a volcanic cone that makes up one of the foothills of Mount Meru.  It is visible from Momella and because of its distinct shape it is a holy mountain for the Maasai who bring the boys to the top when they go through their Rite-of-Passage to become adult members of the community.  The pictures start with a little bit of the park before the climb.

The climbing team is ready.

Half-way there.





Girls will be girls.




Another successful climb!
