MOUNT KENYA CLIMBING
No trip to Kenya is complete without a view or better,
an ascent of Africa's second tallest mountain, Mount
Kenya. It is at 5,199 m (17,057 ft), taller than Blanc,
The Matterhorn, The Rockies, The Sierras and "most" of
the peaks of the Himalayas and Caucasus. Composed of a
huge volcanic base where the outer mantle and crater
have eroded away, Mount Kenya has seven primary peaks
and a series of subsidiary cones scattered about its
crest. Mount Kenya's 3 well-known peaks are: Point
Lenana (Le-naa-na) at 16,355 feet, Nelion (Neh-lee-on)
at 17,021 feet and Batian (Mbaa-tee-ahn) at 17,058 feet.

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.
