During the time when iit was very active, 2 cracks developed creating rift valley that runs N to S. Quakes and eruptions are now rare but the volcanoes can still be seen. Tallest = Mt. Kenya - 5,889 meters. It is foresty and green near the coast. The N and E is desert.

In the N it is Hot and Dry with little / no rain. On the S coast it has a very high temp throughout the day with some cool sea breezes.
