Mount Kenya Climbing Safari
On November 26, 2019 by Eli JohnsonMount 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.
