About Mount Kenya National Park
Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest mountain, a World Heritage Site, and a climbing and trekking destination: the peak of Lenana, at just under 5,000 metres, is reachable by trekkers over four or five days on the Sirimon, Naro Moru and Chogoria routes, while the twin summits of Batian and Nelion are technical climbs. The park covers the moorland and forest above about 3,000 metres, with elephant, buffalo and colobus monkeys in the forest and giant lobelias and groundsels on the moors. The dry seasons are January to February and August to September. Nanyuki and Naro Moru are the bases.
