Additional Information
The majestic triple peaks of Mt Kenya are a sight to behold. Following less
used routes, we use the Burguret Route and Sirimon Trail to ascend and
descend, passing spectacular alpine moorland, forests, glaciers and tarns.
Our goal is Point Lenana, at 4985m, the second highest trekking peak in
Africa. Snow-capped for much of the year, it is arguably a more beautiful
mountain than neighbouring Kilimanjaro. We add an acclimatisation day to the
trek as we pass the technical peaks of Batian (5199m) and Nelion (5188m).
