Mount Kenya Safari climbing in Kenya - Mount Climbing in Kenya

Climbing poimnt enana is one of the mountain experiences of the grand climb; a view of all Kenya awaits one at the top. At dusk, the sunrise across the vast plains and the hills of Africa will stay with you all your life. Mount Kenya is visible from far, its peaks usually covered with clouds by noon but often glittering free at early mornings or just before sunset.

There are four main routes up Lenana. Sirimon Track is the longest, and driest route, much of it through thick rain forest and fabulous moorlands with long views of the peak. Noted for its wildlife, Sirimon begins 13 km (8 miles) east of Nanyuki before the bridge crossing the Sirimon River and Timau. The most direct and popular, though less scenic is the Naro Moru route. Its advantage is you can stay at Naro Moru River Lodge. The lodge’s lovely cedar cabins are spaced among giant podocarpus tree, green lawns, garden, and along the south bank of Naro Moru River.
