Mt Kenya Trekking Peak: 4895


  • UAE Trekkers Nanyuki, Laikipia County Kenya (map)

What is climbing Mt Kenya like?

Climb to Mt Kenya’s highest Trekking Peak: Point Lenana at 4895m over 5 days. More beautiful and scenic than you can imagine, without the crowds of Kilimanjaro. A great ‘test’ to see if you are ready for Kili, and a really enjoyable mountain even if you have already climbed it!

Camp in a comfortable single tent with a private toilet, expert guides and amazing food for 5 days. Spend the first night in Nairobi, the second day we start the trek!

How hard is Mt Kenya?

Mt Kenya requires good fitness but it is not nearly as challenging as Kilimanjaro or other mountains that are nearly 5000m. Its a great test for anyone who wants to climb Kilimanjaro. This is everything that you need to learn and experience before Kilimanjaro. You will be climbing to 5000 m, over 4 days, around 5-6 hours per day. This is a test of your endurance, the same as you will have to do on Kilimanjaro. So, if you can do it on Kenya, you can do Kilimanjaro. The summit is a lot of fun, less painful than Kilimanjaro, not as crowded with a lot less pressure.
