About Mount Kenya Region
Africa’s second summit
Central Kenya, astride the equator
Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak at 5,199m, rises glacier-crowned above the equator — a UNESCO site of forest, moorland and rock trekked on routes such as Sirimon and Chogoria.
Its lower slopes and the surrounding Laikipia conservancies hold elephant, buffalo and rich birdlife, with much to discover on foot.
