Mount Kenya

Mount Kenya is the second largest mountain in Africa, with a summit covered in snow even though it is situated on the equator.

The fertile soils and farming community surrounding Mount Kenya has led to the area being the playground of the rich and famous. Rub shoulders with the celebs as you climb the mountain peak or enjoy game viewing on the lower slopes where there is a generous splattering of animals

Climb Mount Kenya or relax at one of our favourite lodges and enjoy the peace and solitude.

Climbing Mount Kenya

Climbing Mount Kenya is a breeze, compared with Kilimanjaro! Its Alpine meadows and high altitude vegetation make this one of the most beautiful hikes in East Africa. The forests are rich in elephants, buffalo and monkeys so you are kept entertained while walking!

Best time to travel

The best time to travel to Mount Kenya is year round, but avoiding the rains in April, May and November. Depending on the altitude you are at, the temperatures vary from warm and temperate to freezing at the summit.

Mount Kenya and Migration

The safari experience in Mount Kenya is very different to the Masai Mara where there are large herds of animals and of course the Wildebeest migration every year.
