Hiking & Trekking
Hiking and trekking are delightful ways to unwind while in Magical Kenya. With towering spires, sheer cliff faces, jagged ridges and snowcapped peaks, Mount Kenya boasts the second highest peak on the African continent. The diverse range of terrains and conditions make Mount Kenya a haven for climbers, hikers and trekkers. Batian and Nelion, Mount Kenya’s main summits, can only be reached through a rigorous technical climb over rock and ice. Lenana, the mountain’s third highest peak, is popular with trekkers who want the spectacular views without the rigors of a technical climb. Other popular spots include: Aberdares National Park & Reserve, Mt. Elgon, Kakamega Forest, Mt. Longonot, Hell’s Gate National Park, Kerio Valley and many more. With some determination and appropriate gear, you could find yourself immersed in these fantastic landscapes, a whole world away from the hustle and bustle of the cities.
