Mt Kenya is regarded as the most visually stunning of the ice-capped African peaks and is home to a great diversity of wildlife, including leopard, elephant and buffalo.
The ascent is an exhilarating and diverse trek, arguably a fine trek , with relatively few hikers compared to Kilimanjaro. Many would argue that this mountain, whilst not being as high as Mt. Kilimanjaro, is certainly the more enjoyable, interesting and dramatic of the two mountains.
The Chogoria/Sirimon Route offers the best combination of alpine scenery and acclimatisation as we ascend via spectacular Lake Michaelson and Lake Ellis to the trekking peak of the mountain at Point Lenana (4985m).
Our traverse continues to the north where we descend the stunning Sirimon trail with dramatic views.
