About Mount Kenya
Mount Kenya (5,199 m) is Africa's second-highest mountain and, for many trekkers, its most beautiful climb: equatorial glaciers, giant groundsel forests and tarn-filled valleys beneath the twin spires of Batian and Nelion. Most trekkers summit Point Lenana (4,985 m) at sunrise on a four- to five-day Sirimon-Chogoria traverse, widely rated among the finest trekking routes on the continent. The mountain's forests hide elephant and buffalo, and Laikipia's conservancies lie at its feet for a post-climb safari.
