Mount Kenya
Trekking
Any
physically fit person can climb Mt. Kenya. No climbing experience is necessary
to get you to the top of Kenya's highest Mountain (5,199M) with its magnificent
gleaming glaciers, Flora & Fauna.
Weather
Mt Kenya can and is climbed at all times of the year. If possible however,
it is best to avoid the two rainy seasons that may start in mid March
and last through till mid June, the long rains, and from the late October
through till end of November, the short rains. The driest times on the
mountain are usually January till mid March and again July through mid
October.
