Mountain Climbing safaris at Mt Kenya - 2nd Highest Peak in Africa

Without a doubt, one of the sights to check off your list when you come to East Africa is Mt. Kenya. Better than just seeing her though, is an ascent of Africa’s second tallest peak ( at 5,199m or 17,057 ft).

Straddling the equator she is taller than Mt Blanc, The Matterhorn, The Rockies, The Sierra’s and most peaks of the Himalayas and Caucasus. She has seven peaks- most of which can be scaled by reasonably fit amateur climbers.

At the top of point Lenana you will get a view of all Kenya that will forever be etched in your memory.

Mountain Climbing Safaris at Mt.Kilimanjaro - Africa's highest peak

Mt.Kilimanjaro, fondly referred to as “The roof of Africa”, is the highest mountain in Africa rising from 1000m to a towering 5896m at Uhuru peak. Three extinct volcanoes (Shira, Mawenzi and Kibo) form the Kilimanjaro. Kibo is the youngest and most majestic of the three.

The caldera is still intact and at the pit ash and fumeroles of smoke can occasionally still be seen as a reminder of a very active volcanic history.Kibo can be attempted by any experienced climber. A trekking exploration of the mountain reveals the rich vegetation which consists of cedar, podo and wild olive on the lower northern and western slopes.

On the wetter lower eastern and southern slopes, giant camphor, fig trees, ferns, lines and epiphytes are a common feature. The tree line is at about 2800m followed by moorland up to 3800m. From there a rocky moonlike landscape, the alpine desert stretches all the way p to the permanent ice.

Mt.Kilimanjaro offers the hiker the unique opportunity to experience al climatic zones from the hot tropical climate on the equator to the hostile arctic climate on Uhuru peak in a span of less than a week.
