With the rugged glacier-clad summits and forested middle slopes as the backdrop, Mount Kenya trekking tours will take you to one of the most impressive landscapes in East Africa. Mount Kenya is the second-highest peak in Africa. It is an ancient extinct volcano, during whose period of activity it is thought to have risen to 6,500 m. There are 12 remnant glaciers on Mount Kenya, all receding rapidly, and four secondary peaks that sit at the head of the u-shaped glacial valleys.
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
