On the mountain
How a Mount Kenya trek works
A steady climb with time to acclimatise.
Transfer to the gate
We drive you from Nairobi to the park gate.
Climb in stages
Walk between huts and camps, gaining height gradually.
Summit morning
An early start to reach Point Lenana around sunrise.
Descend and return
Walk down, then transfer back to Nairobi.
Before you climb
Prepare well and enjoy the mountain.
Fitness
Regular hiking in the weeks before helps a lot. No climbing experience is needed.
Cold nights
Nights near the summit drop below freezing, so a warm sleeping bag matters.
Gear
Waterproofs, broken-in boots and warm layers. Each trek page has a full gear list.
Best season
January to February and July to October are usually the driest months.
