Wildlife Safaris in Kenya: Mount Kenya is
located on the equator. Magnificent cliffs and glaciers
protect the highest peaks of Nelion (5188m) and Batian
(5199m). The third highest summit - Point Lenana, (4985m) - is
also glaciated but accessible to walkers. Tarns and alpine
meadows; exotic, equatorial, high-altitude vegetation;
sunbirds, hyrax and soaring eagles make the walk around the
peaks one of the most beautiful expeditions in the East
African mountains. On account of the high altitudes it is wise
not to rush to the summit areas and the very shortest trip to
Lenana should allow for 3 nights on the mountain. Mt Kenya
Climbing and Hiking Adventure
Mt. Kenya is a dome-shaped central volcano. It is the largest
mountain in Kenya. Ten glaciers cover the volcanos peaks. The
original crater on Mt. Kenya was over 20,000 ft (6100 m) high
but has been heavily eroded. Most of this erosion occurred
during two periods when glaciers carved much of the top of the
volcano. These periods wore down the ring-like plug forming
the top of Mt. Kenya. In fact, almost 35% of the volcano has
been worn away.
