Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa after Mount Kilimanjaro. It is, indeed, the highest in Kenya. Actually, it’s a massif with three different peaks. Batian at 5199 m, Nelion at 5188 m and Lenana Peak at 4985. This last one is slightly apart from the other summits. Whereas climbing Batian and Nelion requires some technical expertise, reaching Lenana Peak summit does not involve any difficulties. Because of this, I recommend this peak for this trip. This is a 9-day journey which involves trekking and climbing in one of the most wonderful destinations in Africa.
