Join Mountain Guides International on a one of a kind journey to the central highlands of Kenya. Mt Kenya is Africa’s second tallest mountain next to Kilimanjaro, and is located just 17 kilometers south of the equator. The climbing here is world class and ranges from high altitude trekking, to alpine rock climbing, and some of the finest ice climbing on the planet! Mt Kenya National Park, which encompasses the mountain and the surrounding 715 sq km was recently designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for being “one of the most impressive landscapes of Eastern Africa with it’s rugged glacier clad summits, Afro-alpine moorlands and diverse forests which illustrate outstanding ecological processes.” The mountain itself is actually an amalgamation of peaks, spires and pinnacles. The three most imposing of which being Point Lenana (16,355 ft), Batian (17,058 ft), and Nelion (17,022 ft). Point Lenana is accessible by trekking and offers exceptional views of the park, while Batian and Nelion are only ascended by technical climbing and are therefore unfrequented; it is not uncommon to have the whole peak to yourself!
