MOUNTAINEERING
Mount Kenya and Mt Kilimanjaro Climb
Our traverse of Mt Kenya ascends via the lesser known
Chogoria Route with fine alpine walking that will ensure we are well prepared
for an exhilarating circuit of the summit peaks including Point Lenana
(4985m). Transferring to Tanzania we prepare for our climb on Mount Kilimanjaro
(5985m). We aim to climb the remote and challenging Shira Route following
less well-defined trails through dense forest to moorlands characterized
by giant lobelia. From our spectacular vantage point at Mawenzi Tarn Hut
we traverse the high alpine slopes that mark our route to the summit of
Kilimanjaro and savour one of the best sunrises in the world. For some
relaxation after the trip see our safari and Zanzibar add-ons.
