Enjoy walking in the bushes, savannas and moorlands of Mount Kenya for four days. Have fun camping on different points throughout the hike and spend nights with the wild. Mount Kenya is the only place where the sun rises and sets at the same time. Different routes leading to Lenana, the best view point in Kenya where you can see the magnificent Indian Ocean which we call “giant mirror”, ridges, cliffs and unique spires. Let’s strive to get to the Summit together with big time safaris!
