Composed of a huge volcanic base and plug whose outer mantle and crater have eroded away, Mount Kenya has 7 primary peaks and a series of subsidiary cones scattered about its crest. Mount Kenya is visible from far, its peaks usually covered with clouds by noon, but often glittering free in early morning or just before sunset. There are four main routes up Lenana. Sirimon Track is the longest and driest route, much of it through thick rain forest and fabulous moorlands with long views of the peak. The most direct and popular, though less scenic is the Naro Moru route.
Cost includes a night at base hotel, three meals a day and transport from Nairobi and return.
