To many just the thought of Kenya brings images of wild animals such as Lions and Rhinos. People also remember the dramatic landscapes from films such as "Born Free" and "Out of Africa" and "The ghost and the darkness". Nature itself seems to have handed out the top prize to Kenya . From Snow capped mountain peaks to arid dry rift valleys, lush tropical tea and coffee plantations to coral reefs and vast savannahs hosting some of the most spectacular wildlife action on earth. Kenya indeed lives up to and surpasses its image.

One of the major attractions is to Climb Mount Kenya. Clocking in at 5199M its Africa's second highest mountain. The mountain above the forest line is a national park and it supports rainforests and thickets of bamboo, while higher up magical moorland of giant lobelia and heather. The forests are home to elephant, buffalo, monkeys, antelope and giant forest hog. The Central Highlands, which comprise Mt Kenya and the Aberdares, is the homeland of the Kikuyu people, who hold the mountain sacred.

There are about 4 main routes to the peaks which can be organized in advance. The far reaching views and diversity of the climb make it a desirable challenge for thousands every year.
