Kenya Safari Guide
Everything you need to know
Often left in the shade by older sister Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya has gained a loyal following of intrepid mountaineers and climbers in recent years and quite rightly so. The second highest mountain on the continent, the twin peaked sentinel stands proudly on the equator, rising dramatically from the rolling plains in a profusion of rugged cliffs and glacial spikes. A climb to the top reveals a stunning landscape of dense forest and rare Afro-Alpine woodland, dotted with sparkling tarns and tropical plants. What Kili steals in height Mt Kenya more than makes up for in sheer beauty.
Start with a recommended trip or create one from scratch
Rising from sprawling grasslands and dense woods, Africa’s second-highest mountain can be explored via a number of different routes. For the most experienced climbers, Mount Kenya’s twin peaks are among the most difficult technical ascents in the world, equal in challenge and reward; while reaching Point Lenana is a far easier journey. Along the way, craggy trails give way to hills covered in unique flora and sky-blue tarns (tiny lakes) where you can enjoy some of the best trout fishing in Africa.
