The best mountain 🏔️ to visit in Africa and being the second highest mountain in Africa that’s stunning .Mount Kenya The mountain features several key peaks, including Batian (5,199m), Nelion (5,188m), and Point Lenana (4,985m), which offer thrilling experiences for hikers and climbers. Around the mountain, pristine alpine lakes such as Lake Ellis, Lake Michaelson, and Lake Alice provide serene and scenic spots for adventurers. These lakes are not just beautiful; they are also home to a variety of fish species. Rainbow trout, introduced during the colonial era, are the most common fish found in the lakes, offering an additional attraction for fishing enthusiasts. Mount Kenya is a must-visit destination, blending striking peaks, tranquil lakes, and diverse wildlife to create an unforgettable outdoor experience.

Beautiful mountain with a sacred history in both Kikuyu and Maasai folklore. Varied landscape (high jungle, grassland, rocky lunar) and wildlife. Ask where the elephants are on their circular migration around the base. Camping permitted anywhere within. Assistance of a guide (even for day hike), highly suggested. A real treat in Africa.

Great mountain to hike on. Hiked late February. The weather wasn’t terrible; just a few showers. Totally worth the hike up

Beautiful place, remarkable landscapes..wonderful warden ....we even saw a leopard. Allot could be done to improve the road...to get to the gate should not be a grueling encounter...any Kenya. Should be able to get to the gate...access is a revenue hindrance Toilets can be greatly improved ...as the calibre and expectations of local and foreign tourists increase, please do something about upgrading the sanitation block.

Must have on YOUR Bucket list. For team building it's that one adventure. Every step leads to the more beautiful landscape that creation takes pride in. Chogoria entry route is a nice place, with variety of hotels for breakfast and drinks. The drivers and tour guides are friendly. Sunrise should find you at the lodge, a thousand words worth view. Every route for a hike or camping is ideal. Places to not miss will be Lake Ellis, Nithi Falls and Mau Caves. Took a day to cover on foot. Very Affordable! Concerns network coverage has been addressed, now they have starlink WiFi.
