Climbing Mount Kenya | Africa's 2nd Highest Mountain
Рет қаралды 51,536
5 жыл бұрынIn truth, I was more apprehensive about climbing Mount Kenya than cycling Cairo to Cape Town. Mount Kenya is a serious mountain, at least twice the height of anything I've taken on in the past.
To find mountains as high as Mount Kenya, you'll have to look outside Europe. This was a serious climb.

This goes to the top of Lenana which is a sub peak on the side of Mount Kenya. The actual summit of Mount Kenya can be seen at 17:13. It is a technical rock climb to summit Mount Kenya and so the tourists are not taken there.

If you shop around, $300 including park fees, guide, porters, gear, food and camping for a 4-day hike. Though booking in advance, we met people paying up to $700.

Cyclist117 this is great advice and I had a feeling you were going to say that. It always seems cheaper to book while you’re there and inside the country. You’ve saved me time and money, many thank 😀🤟
@denniskamotho6164 4 жыл бұрын
Cyclist117 Mt. Kenya mandatory park entry fees for non-residents are USD 208 for a 4-day package. I’ll let that sink in. Not everything you read on the internet will apply to you, do your own research. It is generally cheaper to book in country than online, but $300 for a 4-day Mt. Kenya trip for non-residents is no bueno.
