Embark on a journey towards the clouds with the 5,199 meter-tall Mount Kenya, gloriously ranking as Africa’s second highest peak. This World Heritage Site offers awe-inspiring, pristine landscapes dotted with lakes, glaciers, tarns, lush forests, and mineral springs. It is a haven for a range of rare and endangered wildlife, high altitude adapted plains game, and a distinctive array of montane and alpine flora.

Your ascent begins in the forest, eventually opening up to a vast ridge leading to the peak. The journey originates on the mountain’s northwest side, near Nanyuki.
