If you’re looking for a real adventure challenge, there’s no better way than mountain climbing. At Arrow Adventures we help plan and organize mountain climbing expeditions to Kenya’s majestic Mount Kenya. With its rugged and rocky terrain, steep slopes, and high altitudes, this peak is not for the faint hearted, one needs proper training, equipment, and determination. Mount Kenya is the highest point in Kenya and the second-highest in Africa, standing at 5199 meters. It has three summits: Batian, Nelion, and Point Lenana. Despite being a stratovolcano, the peak’s rough appearance is due to its past ice cover. On the top now, there are 11 tiny glaciers.
There are several different routes to the peaks of Mount Kenya, each with varying levels of difficulty. If you’re looking for a less challenging climb, the Chogoria route is easier and provides hikers with spectacular views of Kenya’s gorges valley, forested slopes, wild vegetation, alpine zones, and summits. Mt Kenya National Park encompasses the region surrounding the peak, which is noted for its diverse vegetation and animals. As you climb higher in height, the vegetation changes from lowland savannah to bamboo forests. The unusual high-altitude equatorial habitat may be found here.
Another quite challenging mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro. The majestic Mount Kilimanjaro rises up from the rainforest of north-eastern Tanzania to its pristine, snow-topped summit at 5,895 meters. Mount Kilimanjaro is undoubtedly a challenge, so it’s essential that you are fully prepared for your mountain climb: which route is best to you, the best time to climb, fitness training, how to acclimatize to high altitude and prevent altitude sickness, gear required, plus the logistics.
