Mount Elgon National Park is one of several national parks of Kenya.
Notable geographic features of this park include Mount Elgon, Kitum Cave, and Turkwel River. Recent technical studies have confirmed that salt-mining elephants and other mammals are major contributors to the development of the unique Mt. Elgon Caves.
