(0 Reviews)
One of the best ways to experience Kenya is by going for a climbing safari. Although, Kenya is widely known as a wildlife destination with several national parks and beautiful marine parks- it is possible to do a climbing safari in Kenya. Mount Kenya is the highest Mountain in Kenya and the second highest in Africa after Mount Kilimanjaro which offers the best alternative for mount climbers. Climbing Mount Kenya is relatively challenging however with an experienced company like us, it is almost impossible not to reach the summit. We have experienced success with our clients and we are waiting for you to be added unto this long list of our Mount Kenya climbing clients.

Shipton camp is normally the last destination before attempting the summit-Point Lenana. This is another relaxing day and you won’t have to walk long distances. There are higher chances of reaching the summit because of the acclimatization which is involved during this journey. Normally, the body needs to rest and regain the needed energy to take on the climbing challenge. This is when taking short hikes like this is necessary.
