Mount Kenya Ascent
Mt Kenya is regarded as the most visually stunning of the ice-capped African peaks and is home to a great diversity of wildlife, including leopard, elephant and buffalo. It is an exhilarating and diverse trek, with only a tenth of the number of trekkers compared to Kilimanjaro. The Chogoria Route offers the best combination of alpine scenery and acclimatisation and takes us through the spectacular Gorges Valley and Lake Mackenzie before traversing the Point Lenana summit (4985m).
