Unlike any other reserve in Kenya, Mt. Kenya National Park, home to the 5,199-meter (17,058 ft) mountain, the second-highest peak in Africa, offers an unparalleled adventure. Known for its
vertical landscape, the park begins at a tropical bamboo forest, ascends through wooded terrain, and reaches alpine moorland, capping out in a moonscape of glaciers, rock, and snow.
As you ascend, spot elephants, buffalos, monkeys, and antelopes in the lowlands, followed by giant forest hogs as you climb through dense woods. Upon entering glacier country, pass by
mountain lakes and alpine vegetation as you approach the summit of one of Mt. Kenya’s three
famous peaks.
Rediscover the calm and beauty of the natural world.

A Most Unusual Park
Mt. Kenya National Park defies expectations. Situated near the equator, this extinct volcano is home to 12 high-elevation glaciers, making it one of Africa’s most stunning mountains. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, it is also a popular destination for climbers from around the world. Vertical safari-goers can choose from seven routes to the summits. Of the three peaks, only Point Lenana (4,985 m / 16,354 ft) is accessible to novice climbers.
Start Your Climb
Your adventure begins among tropical bamboo, teeming with vibrant avian life such as sunbirds and eagles. But don’t be fooled by the calm of the forest – the climb quickly ascends to alpine meadows. To best acclimate to the challenging elevation, it’s recommended to spend several
nights on the mountain. Once you reach the icy fields of rock and snow, push toward the pinnacle and enjoy commanding vistas of Kenya’s landscape below. Plus, you’ll earn the exclusive bragging rights of conquering one of the world’s highest peaks.
Things to Do & See in Mt. Kenya National Park
● The Climb – Some climbers return to Mt. Kenya year after year to challenge themselves, perhaps attempting a different peak each time. While the higher summits of Nelion (5,188 m / 17,021 ft) and Batian (5,199 m / 17,057 ft) require technical climbing skills, novice climbers and trekkers can summit Point Lenana (4,985 m / 16,354 ft) with proper acclimatization.
● Alpine Camping – Shipton’s Camp, a high-altitude haven, is located just beneath the summit. Here, climbers can rent a bunk in this alpine hut before tackling their peak the following day.
● Caving – Near Shipton’s Camp, explore the thrilling Shipton’s Caves for a unique high-altitude caving experience.
● Highland Castle – On the Burguret Route at about 3,700 m (12,139 ft), this lava formation looks like a castle. Scramble to the top for stunning views of the Nelion and Batian peaks.
