Mount Kenya, Kenya

The Mount Kenya hike is a challenging and enjoyable journey to Mount Kenya's highest trekking peak (Point Lenana) at 4985 metres.  From the summit, there is a beautiful view of the dramatic volcanic massif and the two main peaks of Batian and Nelion, as well as panoramic views over the central plains of Kenya. It has long been a popular and very attractive hike through an ancient landscape dotted with glaciers, rock spires, high tarns and some beautiful and unique flora and fauna like the giant groundsels and the odd-looking rock hyrax which has evolved from the elephant.
