What You Need to Know Before Booking Your Tour
Standing at 5199m above sea level, Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa and a popular destination for hikers. It is an extinct volcano, meaning it will never erupt again. Mt. Kenya has three main peaks, the highest being Batian (5,199m), followed by Nelion (5,188m), and Point Lenana (4,983m). Most Mount Kenya hikes end at Point Lenana since the Batian and Nelion require technical climbing to reach their tops.

Mount Kenya Sights
Since Mount Kenya is surrounded by a rainforest at the base, it provides beautiful views from the start. The mountain became a national park in 1949 due to its high population of wildlife and diverse landscapes with unique vegetation. Elephants, zebras, buffaloes, leopards, and monkeys inhabit the lower slopes of the mountain. As you climb Mount Kenya, you'll go through forests and valleys, watch landscapes transition from one type to another, pass by waterfalls, streams, and lakes, and visit several landmark sites. Mount Kenya boasts an abundance of breathtaking views, which is why it is regarded as the most beautiful mountain in East Africa. Accommodation on Mount Kenya is primarily available through camping, although huts are also available on some routes.
