MOUNT KENYA CLIMBING
Mount Kenya
Climbing Lenana is one of the mountain experiences of
the grand climb; a view of all Kenya awaits one at the
top. At dusk, the sunrise across the vast plains and the
hills of Africa will stay with you all your life. Mount
Kenya is visible from far, its peaks usually covered
with clouds by noon but often glittering free at early
mornings or just before sunset. We recommend the Sirimon
& Naro Moro Trek on Mount Kenya for reaching Lenana. The
Sirimon Trek, one of the finest approaches to the peak
area. Sirimon offers some of the best views of the main
peaks with a gradual climb which can be done leisurely.
You will traverse the mountain by ascending the Sirimon
Trek and descending the Naro Moru Trek.
