Mount Kenya Trek
Mt. Kenya
The extinct volcanoes of East Africa are the highest mountains of the whole continent. After Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the second highest is Mount Kenya; however, most who have trekked both believe Kenya to be the more beautiful climb. Starting from the north western side, you take the Timau route through stunning alpine moorland scenery. As you climb, the landscape becomes increasingly more barren and the views more dramatic. The aim of the trek is to reach Point Lenana at just under 5000m; from here the sheer rock faces loom another 200m above, inaccessible to trekkers.
Descent & Game Viewing
After reaching the highest point on the climb, the descent is surprisingly quick. After a refreshing stop at Naro Moru you transfer to Lakipia on the western side of Mount Kenya. Game drives in the evening and the morning remind you that you are still well and truly in the heart of Africa.
Combine two trips
The Mount Kenya trip can be combined with a Kilimanjaro climb or it can be combined with a Kenyan safari on certain dates. Please ask your Travel Consultant for details.
