Scenic Mount Kenya Climb

Summary:

Places to visit: Nairobi, Nanyuki and Mt Kenya. On this Mount Kenya climbing experience, you ascend via the dry and little used Sirimon Trail and descend on the scenic Chogoria Trail.

You reach point Lenana (4985 m), the highest point accessible to walkers, and return to base in 5 days. Mount Kenya is Africa?s second highest mountain.

Above the habitable altitude, you find a rain forest zone, abundant with many tree species and there is some wildlife too.

Further up is open moorland, and beyond is the snow line where vegetation is sparse. Finding snow on the equator was a great surprise for the first Europeans to get to East Africa.
