Kenya Safari Holidays: Mount Kenya Treks

This is one of the most popular routes for those who wish to hike Mount Kenya.  You will ascend through the diverse, breathtaking and sometimes bizarre vegetation zones of Mount Kenya before reaching the hiker's summit - the magnificent Point Lenana.

Although an absolute joy for all climbers, this Mount Kenya trek is particularly well-suited to those who relish a challenge and love to hike, but don't have much experience with altitudes above 4,000 metres.

The trek is a challenge, but once you've begun to experience the sights and sounds of Mount Kenya up close, you'll find that reaching the summit is only one part of this magnificent journey.

The sense of wonder and achievement one feels whilst watching an awe-inspiring sunrise from 4985 metres simply cannot be matched.  With this trek, you'll have plenty of time to acclimatise and take in Mount Kenya's flora and fauna, before reaching the glorious peak of Point Lenana.

For the determined and experienced hiker this route is supremely rewarding.  You will spend your first days on a challenging ascent to the base of the high peaks, before reaching the summit on your fourth day. 

Expect a tough start with this climb!  On this route, the ascent to the lower peaks is steady and longer, and can be a real test of personal fitness.  Perfect for those hikers who relish a real challenge!
