Mount Kenya stands a magnificent 5199m (17,057 feet) above sea level, dominating the view for miles around. It is the second highest mountain in Africa, next to Mount Kilimanjaro, and was formed hundreds of years ago by a series of volcanic eruptions. Gradually, the cratered rim has eroded, forming several peaks.
Of Mount Kenya’s three main peaks, only Point Lenana can be climbed by amateurs. The other two peaks require full mountaineering skills and technical equipment. One of the most popular routes up the mountain is the Naro Moru route. The first night will be spent at the Naro Moru River Lodge which supplies equipment and porters for the climb. Full catering will be provided each day and a list of climbers’ recommended clothing, footwear and other equipment will be advised at the time of reservation.
