the drier side of the mountain which offers some of the finest
walking. Climbing up through forest into a wide ridge approach to the

near Nanyuki Town. Access is adequate and the bunk house facilities

Mount
Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain at 5,199m (17,058
feet)
and the highest of all Kenya Mountains. Mt Kenya is roughly circular,
about 60km across at the 200mm contour, where the steep font hills rise
out of the gentler slopes of the centered highlands. At the centre of
the massif, the main peaks rise sharply from around 4,500m to the main
summit of Batian 5,199m, Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Other
major summits on the mountain include Point Piggott 4,957m, Point Dutton
4,885 and Point John
4,883m. Of the three main peaks (Batian, Lenana and Nelion), only point
Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two being only for
technical climbers. See available trekking
Mt Kenya Climb options here at Mount
Kenya Climbing Expeditions. Mount Kenya National Park is named
after the mountain. |

Africa's
highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro stands on
featureless part of the East African plateau, on the
Tanzanian side of the Kenya border near Moshi, side by
side with the smaller Mount Meru. These mountains are
extinct volcanoes, with Kilimanjaro actually being the
agglomeration of three distinct volcanoes, Kibo (5896m/
19,340 ft), Mwenzi (5,149 / 16,896 ft) and Shira (3,962m
/ 13,000 ft). whose violent creation is geologically
associated with the creation of the Great Rift Valley,
100km to the West. |

Mount Meru is
Mount Kilimanjaro's little sister, standing at 4,566m
compared to 5,895m, but is still an impressive
freestanding volcano, which makes a superb four day
climb to the top. It last erupted in 1910 therefore can
be classified as an active volcano. The first Mount Meru
ascent was made by Dr. Fritz Jaeger, 1904. The town of
Arusha lies at the base of Mount Meru Trekking, loads of
trek companies do this trek. Wild animals are frequently
found on this mountain therefore an armed ranger usually
accompanies the trekkers. |
