5 Days Sensational Mt Kenya Climbing Tour

Package Overview

This is a Mount Kenya trek that combines the two most scenic routes of Mt Kenya. You’ll be ascending the dry side of the mountain which offers some of the finest walkings. Climb up through the forest into a wide ridge approaching the summit area. The route starts on the northwest side of the mountain near Nanyuki. Access is adequate and the bunkhouse facilities are the best on this side of the mountain. This climb can be tailor-made to your liking by reducing or adding days.

You’ll be collected from the airport.
Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost
