Mount Kenya + Safari

Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak at 5,199 meters and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a trekker’s dream. The experience of its jagged peaks, sparkling tarns, and unique Afro-alpine flora perfectly juxtaposes the golden savannahs of the Maasai Mara or Tsavo. After an exhilarating trek to Point Lenana, step into the world of Kenya’s famous wildlife parks:

  • Maasai Mara National Reserve – Iconic predator-prey encounters and the Great Migration.
  • Amboseli National Park – Large elephant herds against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro.
  • Lake Nakuru National Park – A birder’s paradise, home to rhinos and flamingos.
  • Ol Pejeta Conservancy – A leading rhino sanctuary and home to chimpanzees.

Mount Kilimanjaro + Safari + Mount Kenya

The Ultimate East Africa Challenge

Take on Africa’s two highest mountains and the thrill of world-class safaris in one epic journey. Touch the roof of Africa, relax with a tranquil safari in Kenya’s pristine parks, and scale East Africa’s most beautiful peak. This is a physically demanding adventure, but the rewards—from sweeping summits to wild savannahs—are beyond compare.

Why Choose a Trek + Safari Combo?

From the thin air of the summit to the warm glow of a savannah sunset.

A mountain trek challenges your endurance and rewards you with breathtaking panoramas. A safari connects you with Africa’s legendary wildlife in their natural habitat. Together, they create a journey that’s both physically exhilarating and soul-stirring.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time is from July to October, when millions of wildebeest and zebras cross from Tanzania’s Serengeti into Kenya’s Maasai Mara.
