"Hiking Mount Kenya Scaling Mount Kenya , the country'shighest and the continent's second-highest mountain, is on the bucket list of many adventurers. Thejagged summit peaks, sharp cliffs, and snowcapped crags can be seen on the northern road fromNairobi when the mountain is not shrouded inclouds. Hiking this monster usually takes fromthree to sevendays, depending on fitness levels. Of the different possible routes up, the popular Chogoria route passes through lush green pastures and by icy blue lakes, crossing dusty martian landscapes along the way. The highest point hikers can reach without specialized climbing equipment is Lenana, more than16,000 feetabove sea level."

I went on a 4-day trek to Point Lenana — such an amazing experience! I loved exploring the beautiful landscapes and nature around. I’d totally recommend it.

We spent 5 nights hiking and camping in Mount Kenya and we loved it! Sure it's an exhausting experience as it requires huge efforts to fight altitude and the cold daily but this mountain is so beautiful and special! Slept in lake Ellis, Michaelson, Austrian Camp and Shiptons Camp. Our preferred were Michaelson and Shiptons although Mintos Campsite also looked stunning when we passed through it on our last day hike. Austrian Hut which is 4800mt high was our worst night ever since we felt the effects of altitude and night was incredibly windy and freezing cold. We wish we had seen some more wildlife. Only saw rock hyraxes and birds and some dung from zebra, elands and hyenas. The campsites all have pit toilets which is a good thing to try to keep the environment clean and water safer for drinking. Phone and internet network are very rare so plan your visit accordingly.

A very nice volcanoe to hike to! We did it on 2 days, to point Lenana, and it was not too hard. Slept in the Naro Muri hut and woke up at 3 o clock to get the sunrise at the summit. If you go with guides (which is mandatory), make sure they make breakfast, otherwise it will be hard. There is a wee bit of scrambling but no multipitch climbing, where you have to go to the Battian. The first 500hm are trough bog, so take waterproof boots with you!!

Great experience, I enjoyed battling with the stiff and hard terrains up the mountain. I never made it to the top... it will remain as a challenge for the next time. Lenana peak I'll be there.......
