Lokitela Farm
Lokitela Farm is on the foothills of Mount Elgon, the largest but not the highest mountain in Africa. At just over 14,000 ft above sea level Mt Elgon straddles the Kenya/Uganda border. Mt Elgon caves are well known for their "salt mining" elephants and the many thousands of tongue clicking fruit bats that roost in them.
