Lake Mumbi is a stunning, high-altitude glacial lake located in the Gorges Valley on Mount Kenya. Sited in the moorland, it is one of the waxed lyrical natural wonders seen along Chogoria Route, especially of its appearance of grandeur; and is surrounded by towering cliffs and rugged rock formations, offering unparalleled views of Mount Kenya’s highest peaks and making it a popular destination for mountaineers on the Chogoria route. There is a campsite near the lake, often considered one of the most spectacular in Kenya.

People who love to nurse colonial hangovers still refer to it as Lake Michaelson.
