Mount Kenya Climb:Africa's second
highest mountain at 5,199m forms part of the central highlands
and is a very complex mountain. It has more than one peak,
many rock spires and summits. Of the three main peaks
(Batian, Nelion and Lenana) only Point Lenana can be reached
by trekkers, the other two being only for technical climbers.
Although Mount Kenya
can be climbed all year round, it is best to avoid the
two rainy seasons from mid-March until June and from late
October to the end of December. After the cultivated farmlands
on the lower slopes the trails pass through the rain forest,
rich in trees of many species but noticeably camphor's,
then onto a bamboo zone growing to heights of more than
12m or more, up through open moorland before reaching
the moonscape of the higher slopes. The forest are rich
in wildlife including elephant, buffalo and monkeys with
even the moorlands offering along list of mammals including
the rock hyrax, the nearest living relative of the elephant.

Mount Kilimanjaro
Climb:
This is Africa's
highest mountain and the most awesome sight. Snowcapped
and not yet extinct, at (5895m / 91340ft), it is surrounded
by rain forest and is home to many animals such as Elephants,
Buffaloes, Rhinos, Leopards, and Monkeys. Monkeys and
Elands are the only animals that can be seen at the summits
of Mawenzi and Kibo Peaks. The snow-capped peak, the dream
of scaling the summit, watching dawn break and gazing
out over the vast African wildlife, plains and bushland
is an experience not to be missed. Kilimanjaro can be
trekked at any time of the year, however, there is usually
a lot of rain during April, May and November which makes
trekking even more challenging.Send us an emal to Make An Enquiry
