Hiking is rewarding
The area has some of the oldest forests in Africa and because the ecosystem has remained undisturbed by climactic and geographical changes aor an estimated 25 million years, hiking in the area is particularly rewarding. A plethora of endemic bird and insect species are found here, but permits are required to reach most of the peaks and permission must be sought in advance.
