Description
Experience the allure of Africa’s second-highest peak, Mount Kenya, on this transformative 10-day trek.

Beyond the visual splendor, this trek is a testament to endurance and the indomitable human spirit. As you stand atop Point Lenana, Mount Kenya’s highest trekking peak, the sense of accomplishment, combined with panoramic views of the African savannah below, is an unparalleled reward. Come, breathe in the crisp alpine air, tread on ancient trails, and be part of a timeless African narrative.
