Highlights Of Your 5-Days Mount Kenya Climbing Tour
This is the tallest of all Kenya Mountains, Mount Kenya rises just over 3,800 metres (17,000 feet) and is the second highest mountain in Africa.
Packed and ready to climb the second highest mountain in Africa? The trek up Mount Kenya might look challenging but it rewards all the way to the peak.
Made up of 3 main peaks, Batian – Nelion and Point Lenana, it all depends on which one you climb with all the three having different elevations.
Batian and Nelion are the highest peaks and require advanced rock climbing and mountaineering skills to conquer.
Batian being Mount Kenya’s highest peak, rises to 5,199 meters followed by Nelion slightly lower with a peak of 5,188 meters then third in place is Point Lenana rising up to 4,985 meters.
There being five (5) different main routes to climbing Mount Kenya, namely Sirimon (Offers one of the most beautiful approaches to the peaks), Burguret (You’ll be navigating through the rainforest overnighting at wilderness campsites. The route is often muddy and rough under foot), Naro Moru (The most popular descent route, fast and easy), Chogoria (The Chogoria route passes by waterfalls and an incredible gorge) and lastly Timau, the most common are the first four respectively.
Most hikers go up and down a combination of routes – which generally take about five (5) to six (6) days to complete.
These routes have security gates which make them the most frequently used.
*NB* some of the routes require special permission from the Kenya Wildlife Service to hike due to poor weather patterns and risk/danger involved during hike.
Mount Kenya remains the best trekking tour because it offers hikers breath-taking mountain scenery of glaciers, lakes, mineral springs, and alpine forests to trek through, as well as spotting some wildlife compared to Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya is considered a more scenic trek.
