Hiking Mt. Kenya

Safari summary

Hiking up Mount Kenya, the second highest mountain on the African continent, is on the bucket list of many travellers and an amazing trekking adventure for nature lovers.

You will hike through the thick montane and bamboo forests of the lower slopes, where zebras and eland antelopes often graze. Passing babbling brooks and dark blue mountain lakes, you might be lucky and spot our mountain’s big brother, Mount Kilimanjaro, in the distance. Nature lovers appreciate Mount Kenya for its impressive landscapes and diverse wildlife, acknowledged even by the UNESCO as a world heritage site. Adventure seekers long to conquer the rugged cliffs and ice walls, navigating the highest via ferrata in the world.

Whether you are an experienced expeditioner or a novice hiker, there is a peak for you on Mount Kenya: you can reach Point Lenana at 4985m even if you don’t have climbing experience. The snow-capped peak of Batian at 5199m on the other hand is reserved for those with technical finesse and an appetite for adventure.

No worries, at Kenya-Experience we will walk with you and have your back
