Mt Kenya Trekking, Hiking on Mt Kenya
Mount Kenya is the highest mountain
in Kenya with its own snow and ice capped rocks peaks standing
high above beautiful agricultural country. There are three main
peaks on Mt. Kenya. We offer an itinerary to Pt Lenana (4,985m)
which, while a hard climb, can be achieved by a reasonably fit
person. Other treks up the mountain include technical climbs that
cover the ice and rock faces offering a suitable challenge to
the professional mountain climber.
One of the most popular routes
up the mountain is the Naro moru route while the most scenic include
the Sirimon Route and the Chogoria Route. Combining the two routes
gives us both a scenic climb and a worthy challenge with long
treks and some hikes that are on the tough side. Full catering
will be provided each day and a list of climbers’ equipment will
be advised at the time of reservation.
Below are some of the routes that
take you upto the snow covered peaks of Mount Kenya: -
