Mount Kenya National Park

Background Information

Climbing to 5,199 meters, Mount Kenya is the second tallest mountain in Africa. The scenery surrounding this designated World Heritage Site is breath-taking. It is pristine wilderness with lakes, tarns, glaciers, dense forest, mineral springs and a selection of rare and endangered species of animals, high altitude adapted plains game and unique montane and alpine vegetation. Visitors can enjoy mountain climbing, camping and caving with the mountain’s rugged glacier-clad peaks providing the perfect backdrop.

What to see and Do

Take a game safari through the pristine wilderness and see the magnificent lakes, glaciers and peaks. View the African animals, endangered species and unique mountain vegetation. Climb Point Lenana, if you are reasonably fit, and enjoy the views. Birdwatching is very rewarding as there are many prolific species including the multi-colored sunbirds and huge eagles.
