Lace up your hiking boots and climb Mount Kenya during this 6-day adventure!
During your ascent towards Kenya’s highest peak (5,199 m / 17,058 ft), you’ll enjoy fine walking and an ever-changing and spectacular scenery. The trail leads you through moorland, along rivers and, on the last stretch towards Point Lenana, a steep rocky trail. However, once you’ve reached this point at 4,985 metres above sea level, you just have to enjoy: the sun rising above the mountain range and land in front of you, the view of the two main peaks Nelion and Batian and, on a clear day, even Mount Kilimanjaro. Your descent from this ancient volcano is just as thrilling as your ascent, since it takes you through the lush rainforest.

Enjoy the amazing views, which on clear days even include Mount Kilimanjaro more than 350 kilometres away. You then hike two hours back to Shipton's Camp for breakfast, and another four to Old Moses Camp (3,300 m) to spend the night.
