No trip to Kenya is complete without a view or even better, an ascent of Africa's second tallest mountain, Mount Kenya. Mount Kenya is Africa's second highest mountain at 5,199m (17,058 feet) and the highest of all Kenya's Mountains. At the centre of the massif, the main peaks rise sharply from around 4,500m to the main summit of Batian 5,199m, Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m.
Of the three main peaks (Batian, Lenana and Nelion), only point Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two by only technical climbers.

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 experience as it rises across the vast plains and the hills of Africa will stay with you all your life.
We recommend the Sirimon and Naro Moro Trek on Mount Kenya for reaching Lenana. The Sirimon Trek is 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 Moro Trek.

The boundless wilderness and big game of this region has long attracted adventure seekers from all over the globe. No other African country can boast such an incredible range of landscapes, unique geographical features, plants and animal species.
