The Cherangani Hills are gently rolling slopes in the western highlands of Kenya, and are one of Kenya's five main forests. The highlands, the large central plateau, is divided by the Mau Escarpment rising from the border with Tanzania up to the Cherangani Hills, fencing the plateau that rises to the slopes of Mount Elgon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kenyalogy: Geography - Rift Valley and Highlands )〕 The Cherangany Hills in Trans Nzoia county of Kenya reach elevations of 3500 m above sea level. They include Kameleogon (3581 m), Chebon (3375 m), Chepkotet (3370 m), Alaleigelat (3350 m) and Sodang (3211 m). They are home to a marginalized hunter-gatherer community called the Sengwer. ==Geology== The Cherangani Hills are not of volcanic origin, unlike most of Kenya’s mountain ranges. They are located on a forested escarpment with shear cliff walls surrounding them on three sides.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mountains>Western Highlands )〕 Visible are forested ridges and stark, rocky gorges. The Cherangani Hills offer hill walking in Kenya for the visitor.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherangani Hills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
