Met de ruige, met gletsjers bedekte toppen en de beboste middelste hellingen als achtergrond brengen Mount Kenya trektochten je naar een van de indrukwekkendste landschappen van Oost-Afrika. Mount Kenya is de op één na hoogste top van Afrika. Het is een oude, uitgedoofde vulkaan, waarvan wordt aangenomen dat hij tijdens zijn activiteitsperiode is gestegen tot 6.500 m. Er zijn 12 overgebleven gletsjers op Mount Kenya, die zich allemaal snel terugtrekken, en vier secundaire toppen die aan het hoofd van de u-vormige gletsjervalleien liggen.
In the morning, you will depart Nairobi on a shared shuttle accompanied by our mountain guide arriving at Nanyuki in time for lunch. For the rest of the afternoon, you will spend time in Nanyuki acclimatizing and walking along the Mount Kenya region visiting the Mau Mau Caves, where freedom fighters used to hide during the 2nd world war.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at a hotel in Nanyuki
