Why Choose Mt. Kenya for Your Next Adventure?
Mt. Kenya is a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity. As Africa’s second-highest mountain, it offers a unique alternative to the more crowded Mt. Kilimanjaro, providing trekkers with a more intimate and serene experience. The mountain features three main peaks—Batian, Nelion, and Lenana—with Point Lenana being the most accessible to trekkers.
The experience of trekking Mt. Kenya is enriched by the mountain’s diverse landscapes, from dense rainforests and bamboo forests to open moorlands and rocky peaks. The mountain is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, and the rare Mount Kenya hyrax, as well as unique flora like giant lobelias and senecios. These elements make Mt. Kenya a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
