Mt. Kenya

Final Stop before climbing to the summit.

Mt Kenya, Africa’s second highest peak is regarded as the realm of Ngai, god of the local Kikuyu people. Traditionally, all Kikuyu home were built to face this sacred peak. They call it Kirinyaga, or place of light.

The mountain is an awe-inspiring sight. Its ragged series of peaks are crowned with snow, and its slopes are thick with forest. The mountain is best seen at dawn, when the days early light silhouettes its impressive summit high over the surrounding plains.

While the 5199 metre summit is a difficult technical climb, the lesser peak of Point Lenana (4985m) can be easily reached by any fit trekker.

This trek takes between 3 and 5 days, through a fascinating world of forests, wildlife, unique montane vegetation including podocarpus and grounsel, and finally one of the worlds rarest sights, equatorial snow.

Walking and Camel supported Safaris

Camels help transport camp and weary travelers

A walking safari experience through some of Kenya's best wildlife-viewing habitats is an incredible way to experience Kenya. Wander through some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa where you may encounter a wide variety of game including the "Big Five" (Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo), over 420 species of birds, Reticulated Giraffe, Cheetah, numerous different antelopes, and endangered species such as the Grevy's Zebra and Sitatunga.

The North of Kenya has a thriving camel culture, and the camel is used by many nomadic tribes. These deserts and wide arid plain lands have long been crossed by camel trains, following ancient routes through deep valleys and along winding dry river beds. Large herds of dromedary (single humped) camels are found throughout the North. A safari by camel is a unique way to see this country. >br>
The trackless deserts and high ranges of the Northern frontier are beautiful and remote places, completely isolated from the modern world. Walking through this wilderness with a camel train, camping in the wild and sleeping under the stars, you can travel through an Africa unchanged since the passage of the first explorers.

On these camping safaris, specifically designed for the active traveler, you are led by an expert guide who is well versed in the ecosystems you will traverse, experiencing the diversity of flora and fauna in the area. Each day you will set out to hike through the wilderness discovering the wildlife. Each night you arrive at a different location where camp is set up.
