Mount Kenya Climbing Tours

Mount Kenya, the second-highest peak in Africa, is considered the sacred domain of Ngai, the god revered by the Kikuyu people. Traditionally, all Kikuyu homes were constructed to face this sacred mountain, which they call Kirinyaga, meaning "place of light." The mountain is truly awe-inspiring, with its jagged peaks topped with snow and its slopes blanketed in dense forests. The best time to view the mountain is at dawn, when the soft light of the morning highlights its towering summit against the surrounding plains. While reaching the 5,199-meter summit is a challenging technical climb, the lower peak of Point Lenana (4,985m) is accessible to any fit hiker. This trek, which takes 3 to 5 days, offers a captivating journey through diverse forests, wildlife, and unique montane plants such as podocarpus and groundsel. The trek culminates in the rare and breathtaking sight of equatorial snow.
