Kitum Cave, situated in Mount Elgon National Park, Kenya, is famous for all the right and wrong reasons! On a positive note, it is a perfect place for wildlife enthusiasts to watch the animals in close quarters. However, it is also believed to be the source of the deadly Marburg virus, which results in the death of infected patients. While not all visitors have contracted the virus, would you risk your life and dare venture into this dangerous expedition.
Named as one of five named “elephant caves” of Mount Elgon, Kitum Cave extends about 700 feet into the side of the mountain. The cave walls are rich in salt deposits.
Kitum Cave is considered one of the most dangerous caves due to the presence of the deadly Marburg virus, which is similar to the Ebola virus. Marburg virus attacks result in hemorrhagic fever and other severe symptoms that ultimately result in the death of the infected patients!
Two cases of fatalities that resulted from Marburg virus disease during the 1980s raised suspicions about the Kitum Cave being the reservoir of this lethal virus.
