Mount Kenya was originally an active volcano, and most probably its summits used to be higher than Kilimanjaro and covered in an ice cap, that ice melted over the years and formed many glaciers which eroded and exposed the rock underneath. So expect to hike on slippery rock and glacier ice on top of the mountain, and dense forests and vegetation near the base.
As Mount Kenya ranges in height, the climate varies considerably over the mountain. But as a tropical location, its weather is dominated by two dry seasons and two wet seasons
Being in Kenya you’ll experience the african generosity and delicious cuisine all along the climb! Food is served hot and tasty, three meals a day by our chefs trekking with us, and the menu is designed to give you the energy you need for an enjoyable climb!
Our amazing porters carry our equipment from camp to camp and they pitch and take down the tents that become our home on the mountain everyday.
