Glory

Mount Kenya National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering alpine trekking, glaciers, and diverse wildlife. Trek Africa’s second-highest mountain with expert guides or enjoy scenic safaris through montane forests and moorlands.

Mount Kenya National Park is one of Kenya’s most iconic destinations, surrounding the majestic peaks of Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest mountain at 5,199 meters. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park offers a dramatic blend of glaciers, forested slopes, moorlands, and rare Afro-alpine vegetation, making it ideal for both trekking and wildlife safaris. Whether you’re an avid hiker aiming to summit Point Lenana, a nature lover exploring lower trails, or a photographer capturing glacial lakes and giant lobelias, Mount Kenya delivers unmatched highland adventure. The park is also home to elephants, leopards, buffaloes, bushbucks, and endangered species like the bongo antelope. Trekking routes like Sirimon, Naro Moru, and Chogoria offer different scenic experiences and difficulty levels, with guided multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 6 days. For less strenuous options, enjoy forest walks, cultural visits to nearby Kikuyu and Meru communities, or a relaxed stay at a luxury lodge overlooking the snow-capped peaks. Located just 175 km from Nairobi, Mount Kenya is a perfect stand-alone destination or part of a northern Kenya safari circuit including Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu National Reserve, and Aberdare National Park.
