| Mount
Kenya is located on the equator
and is Kenya’s highest mountain.
With magnificent cliffs and glaciers
protecting the highest peaks of
Nelion (5188m) and Batian (5199m)
it makes for a spectacular technical
climb. The third highest summit
- Point Lenana, (4985m) - is also
glaciated but accessible to walkers.
Tarns and alpine meadows; exotic,
equatorial, high-altitude vegetation;
sunbirds, hyrax and soaring
eagles make the walk around
the peaks one of the most beautiful
expeditions in the East African
mountains. Shorter walks in
the national park can be easily
be arranged while the three
to four day trek up to point
Lenana typically requires the
support of guides, cooks and
porters. For serious mountaineers, the climb to Nelion and Batian can also be arranged.
