梅嫩加伊火山口(Menengai Crater)位于肯尼亚大裂谷(Great Rift Valley)的纳库鲁(Nakuru)以北约10公里处,是一座规模宏大的盾状火山。其破火山口长达12公里,宽8公里,海拔高度为2,278米,不仅是肯尼亚境内最大的火山口,也在非洲排名第二。火山最初形成于约二十万年前,而如今所见的巨大凹陷地形,则源自约八千年前一次大规模喷发后的塌陷。坑底遍布着后期喷发形成的黑色熔岩流,地质学界认为它是全球范围内保存最完好的“喀拉喀托式”火山口范例之一。 除了地质特征,这里也与马赛(Maasai)部落的历史紧密相连。十九世纪,伊莱基皮亚克(Ilaikipiak)与伊尔普科(Ilpurko)两个马赛氏族曾在此激战,战败的一方最终困死于火山口内。这段往事使得当地人相信坑内游荡着战死者的灵魂;与此同时,也有部分群体视这里为具有灵性的地点,每年会有一些人前来进行静修与祈福。火山口周围环绕着梅嫩加伊森林,林中栖息着多种鸟类与动物,例如体型矫健的维氏雕(Verreaux's Eagle),为自然观察者提供了丰富的探索乐趣。

    Altitude of 2278m- which is stunning, considering it lies within the Great Rift Valley Depth of 485m Diameter of 12 km- so wide that you can’t see across the caldera Menengai provides breath-taking views, that a camera does not do justice. You can see lakes in the caldera, meandering rivers and ancient lava flow. There’s a geothermal power rig in there too. Close by are the Mau Mau caves, in which our freedom fighters hid during the Mau Mau Uprising.
