Introducing Mount Kenya National Park
After seeing the 5199m worth of dramatic remnants that today comprise Mt Kenya (Africa’s second-highest mountain), it’s easy to understand why the Kikuyu people deified it and still believe it’s the seat of their supreme god Ngai. Mt Kenya also has the rare honour of being both a Unesco World Heritage site and a Unesco Biosphere Reserve.

Mt Kenya’s highest peaks, Batian (5199m) and Nelion (5188m), can only be reached by mountaineers with technical skills. However, Point Lenana (4985m), the third-highest peak, can be reached by trekkers and is the usual goal for most mortals, offering a fantastic experience and superb views over the surrounding country.
